Participants in a human chain in the Barisal city on Thursday demanded adequate budgetary allocation for the public health sector.
Swastha Adhikar Andolan Barisal committee organised the programme in front of the Aswani Kumar Hall.
They had also called for expanding the public health services to ensure quality healthcare for the grassroots particularly the underprivileged, rural and marginal groups.
The government must keep in mind that healthcare is not a privilege but a basic citizen right and its health related services should reflect the principle, they urged.
They also put emphasis on enhancing communication between the service providers and stakeholders to ensure accountability and transparency in the sector, training volunteer groups to monitor the quality of health services and implementing the citizen charter to achieve the millennium development goals.
The rally was addressed, among others, by Syed Habibur Rahman, Anwar Zahid, Ranjit Datta, Mohammad Nurul Islam, Muhammad Hossain Shikdar and Abdul Huq.
