Although the word 'freedom' is popular, it is not easy to
achieve it. Bangladesh is one of the few countries in the world that has become
independent by fighting. The victory of Bengal was achieved in return for many
sacrifices. This victory has been achieved in exchange of many sacrifices, blood,
pain of losing relatives and sacrifice of women. There is a collection of
events, personal emotions and multidimensional events. Today I will describe
one of the incidents.
On the winter morning of December 13, 1971, Selina Parveen
was anointing her youngest son Sumon Zahid to take a bath. They were cooking on
the stove and the Pak Hanadar force appeared at the door. Those barbaric evils
did not even allow her to change the saree. At that moment, before going, the
mother turned her hand on her son Sumon's head and said only that, Sumon, you
eat with Mama. I will go and come back soon. But she never came back.
After the independence of the country, the body of the girl
was found in the crowd of many bodies. A part of the girl's breasts were cut,
the blood was reddened and the whole body was wet! The blindfolded corpse of
the girl was lying at the foot of the mound of earth! The girl's nose and face
have no shape, they stabbed her with a weapon! Do you know who that girl is?
That mother-journalist Selina Parveen. The mother could no longer keep her word
to her son, and did not return to little Sumon Zahid; that martyred child Sumon
Zahid waited for his mother till death. It is a matter of great regret that the
decapitated body of Sumon Zahid, the son of martyred journalist Selina Parveen
was found on 14th June 2018 near the railway line of the capital! Sumon Zahid
was a witness for the International Criminal Tribunal. What a horror!
We are forever grateful to those for whose sacrifice we got
our proud homeland. May Allah bless their soul in the hereafter.

Chronic metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, fatty liver, and dyslipidemia, often originate as an individual's metabolism gradually breaks down. Medical research reveals the unique functioning of each person's metabolism, posing challenges for healthcare providers in understanding and customizing personalized treatments. Addressing this complexity, a digital healthcare entity utilizes cutting-edge technology and advanced medical science to deliver personalized, precise, and timely insights with easy-to-follow recommendations to address the root cause.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is reveling in her golden era. Having already held four terms with thumping mandates, she retains the laurel of the globe’s longest-serving female head of government. Her win in January, which secured her fifth term in office, has elicited a barrage of plaudits from almost all quarters in the region. Hasina presents the rare case where both rival Asian powers China and India agree on the benefits of her place at the helm. Regional powers, irrespective of ideological and political leanings, rushed to congratulate her incoming administration. However, most eyes after the January election were fixed on the United States, given its vocal democracy promotion efforts in Bangladesh as of late. While the US State Department did say that the elections were not free or fair, US officials recognized the new government and pledged to collaborate with it going forward. With the US weight lifted, Hasina’s ship now looks to be sailing in smooth seas.
The Father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman emphasized that healthcare and its improvement were crucial for the development of the country. He believed that without advancements in healthcare and its infrastructure, and without people having the right to good health, building the nation would not be possible. Therefore, Bangabandhu formulated a beautiful policy framework at that time, which was both modern and scientifically sound. Most importantly, her daughter the visionary statesperson Sheikh Hasina has been implementing those policies in the same manner as Bangabandhu initiated, based on his foundational principles.
After independence, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman gave us this instruction that for a state to prosper economically and stand firmly on its feet, the health of its people must be safeguarded. In line with this vision, he initiated the development of Bangladesh's healthcare system, laying down a blueprint for its advancement. This vision is enshrined in the constitution of Bangladesh, emphasizing the centrality of healthcare to the well-being of its citizens. Drawing inspiration from Bangabandhu's philosophy, our esteemed leader, Sheikh Hasina, continues to steer our nation, providing constant guidance and implementing effective measures to further enhance the country's healthcare system.
The Honourable Prime Minister has provided a strategic framework for medical research. Henceforth, we can develop a five-year action plan under the guidance of the Bangladesh Medical Research Council (BMRC). It is imperative for doctors to show interest in medical research. Integration of research methodology into medical education curriculum is underway but requires reinforcement. Adequate evaluation mechanisms should be established for physicians committed to medical research.
