Each division needs an ENT hospital
During the last couple of years the government has been expanding health care facilities in District, Thana and Union levels throughout Bangladesh. The Government of Bangladesh has constructed an ear, nose and throat (ENT) institution and hospital in Tejgoan industrial area, Dhaka, which has been in operation since 19 June 2013 after inauguration by Sheik Hasina, honourable Prime Minister.
It was a breakthrough for ENT medical treatment in Bangladesh. Hundreds of patients are getting modern medical treatment at affordable cost every day from this hospital. Dozens of doctors are getting specialized education on ENT medical treatments every tear. A few million patients throughout the country have been suffering from ENT ailments and have been suffering untold suffering. Modern medical treatment can fix most of their problems and they can lead normal lives like healthy citizens. But owing to financial limitations most of them can not go to Dhaka for getting specialized medical treatment at ENT hospital, Dhaka. There are shortage of specialist doctors on ENT medical treatment as well. To bring ENT medical treatment near the locality of the patients we need replicas of such ENT institutions and hospitals in each administrative division. It will address shortage of ENT specialized doctors and in future the government will be able to engage them in district hospitals and Upazila Health Complex at Thana level.
Government should undertake a five years project to construct one ENT institution and hospital in each administrative division to develop our ENT patients as human resources of the country. The proposed Institution and hospital shouldn’t necessarily be constructed at divisional headquarters rather that could be setup in any district under the division.

Suicide not a solution

The present world is the modern age. And with this modernity, the tendency of suicide is also increasing. People take this wrong decision mainly due to family pressure, indecision in life goal, failure in love etc. In general, men are three to four times more likely to commit suicide than women. Women always find a woman or a man around her to talk about her grief but there are not more than one woman to listen to a man’s mind. A soft hearted woman can easily lighten her mind by crying but a man cannot.
It is our duty whenever you see a depressing post online, friends around should accompany him. This can remove the temporary frustration of the person. In fine, I would like to say that suicide cannot be a solution.
