Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said the government has been able to put coronavirus under control in the country as different ministries and government organisations, including the Health Ministry and Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), worked in a synchronised way with utmost sincerity.
“Some people are saying many things regarding the Directorate General of Health Services or Health Ministry… Whatever I’ve directed them on an emergency basis they did that. They worked properly… That’s why we’ve been able to keep coronavirus under control,” she said.
The prime minister made the remarks in her introductory speech at a meeting of the Awami League Central Working Committee at her official residence Ganabhaban in Dhaka.
She said when she directed them to do anything on coronavirus-related issues she asked them to work promptly bypassing the mandatory government rules as those were very much urgent in order to provide medical services to the people.
“We’ve to work… We’ve to procure various materials, we’ve to provide treatment to people, we’ve to go to people and that’s the most important thing. There is no need to follow all the rules when it comes to such emergency matters. If anyone falls into any trouble for anyone, we’ll look into that,” she said.❐
