Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday said her government is working to reach burn treatment at upazila level, urging all concerned to launch a well-planned awareness campaign about safety measures on preservation and use of flammable substances.
"We're taking measures to spread burn treatment at upazila level," she said while opening the Sixth International Conference on Plastic Surgery-2022 and "Mujib Corner" and "Bangabandhu Gallery" at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery (SHNIBPS) in capital Dhaka.
She joined the function virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence in the capital as the Society of Plastic Surgeons of Bangladesh (SPSB) organized it.
The prime minister said all the upazilas have health complexes and the government is considering equipping those with burn treatment facilities.
She said her government has taken a plan to establish separate and self-reliant burn and plastic surgery unit in each of the divisions aimed at reaching specialised treatment to the people's doorsteps.
