Zubaida urges Sasakawa Foundation to expand health cooperation

Dr Zubaida Rahman, wife of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, has urged the Sasakawa Peace Foundation to expand cooperation with Bangladesh in healthcare, medical research, maternal and child health, and modern medical infrastructure.
She made the call at a health seminar organised by the foundation in Tokyo on Tuesday afternoon.
“The present government of Bangladesh has identified healthcare, education and social protection as major policy priorities,” said Zubaida, a physician by profession. She cited initiatives to make healthcare affordable, improve public health services, recruit healthcare workers and expand access to health and education for disadvantaged communities.

She said the government was also working to improve living standards through employment-oriented education, opportunities for underprivileged students, family-based social assistance programmes and the introduction of the Family Card.
