If a country lags behind in intellectual discourse, it will inevitably lag behind in research as well. The leading nations of today, which are leading the world, owe their advancement to sophisticated research endeavors. However, despite ongoing research in certain fields, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed profound disappointment at the limited research in our healthcare sector.
