RAJSHAHI, May 17, 2026 (BSS) - Rajshahi-3 constituency Member of Parliament Advocate Shafiqul Haque Milon said the government is working tirelessly to deliver quality healthcare services to people’s doorsteps.

He said that raising awareness, ensuring accurate diagnosis, and maintaining continuity of treatment are crucial to making healthcare services effective.

He made the remarks as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of a day-long free medical camp held today at the Parila Union Parishad office in Paba Upazila of the district.

MP Milon further said, “It is not possible to cure long-term diseases through a one-day camp or primary treatment alone. Patients require regular follow-up care and must adhere to doctors’ advice.”

Calling on NGOs and development organizations, he said coordinated initiatives are needed so that patients can easily receive follow-up treatment. This would ensure that grassroots communities receive genuine healthcare services and that treatment outcomes are sustainable.

In his speech, he described the current government as accountable and people-friendly, noting that it is working sincerely to fulfill public expectations.

Expressing optimism about the upcoming budget, he said a people-friendly budget would be formulated with priority given to education, healthcare, and sustainable development.

At the day-long free medical camp, underprivileged and local residents received healthcare services free of charge.

Specialist physicians Dr. Md. Selim Reza, Dr. Tasnia Reza, and Dr. S.S. Shakila conducted health check-ups, provided necessary consultations and distributed free medicines.

From the morning, the camp area remained lively with patients of various age groups in attendance.

The event was presided over by Parila Union Parishad Chairman Md. Saeed Ali and moderated by Union Parishad Secretary Md. Abdullahil Kafi. Special guests included Paba Upazila BNP Member Secretary Md. Abdur Razzak, Parila Union BNP Convener Md. Rezaul Karim, and its Member Secretary Md. Moklesur Rahman Rentu.
