22 years on, Paranganj 20-bed hospital still not fully functional

The Paranganj 20-bed hospital, built to serve the healthcare needs of over a million people in the remote char (riverine) areas of three upazilas in Mymensingh, has failed to fully function even after 22 years of its establishment. Due to a lack of a standard staffing structure and absence of necessary medical equipment, the hospital exists only in name. Local residents continue to suffer due to the unavailability of proper medical services.
