This demand was made on Saturday by the director of the hospital, Prof. Uttam Kumar Barua, deputy director. Mamun Morshed and the vice-rector of the Faculty of Medicine and coordinator of the Covid unit, Prof. surrounded the room of Shahadat Hossain Ripon and protested.
Hospital director Prof. Uttam Kumar Barua told bdnews24.com that the doctors on duty at Kovid’s unit were willing to stay in a residential hotel. But under the new rules, the government canceled the quarantine facility for doctors. They have been asked to organize their own accommodation.
“It just came to our attention then. There is no such opportunity in the new circular now. We asked you to leave the hotel as of today. That is why you have expressed your dissatisfaction. I reported the matter to the Department of Health. Since then it has not been said nothing “.
Uttam Barua said that more than 100 medical workers are working shifts at Suhrawardy Medical’s covid unit.
Because the new coronavirus is highly contagious, healthcare workers treating patients are at the highest risk. When they return home after work, there is a risk of transmitting the virus to the family through them.
That is why, according to the World Health Organization protocol, hospitalized patients with Covid-19 are supposed to remain in quarantine for a certain amount of time after working a certain amount of time.
For this reason, after the coronavirus outbreak in the country on April 12, the government had allocated 19 hotels for health workers from six government hospitals in the capital.
But on July 29, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare decided that residential hotel bills for healthcare workers would no longer be paid. Hotel facilities for doctors were also canceled.
However, doctors working in Dhaka will receive an allowance of 2,000 taka a day, nurses 1,200 taka and other health workers 600 taka, according to the circular.
