Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has sought greater collaboration with the United Kingdom in strengthening Bangladesh's healthcare system during a meeting with Baroness Rosie Winterton, the UK trade envoy to Bangladesh.
During the discussion, Winterton acknowledged the "long and trusted history" between the two nations.
"We have a long history together, and we are pleased to see the direction of reforms being undertaken," she said.
Professor Yunus remarked that the country is passing through a transformative moment. "It's a very critical time for us. We are focused on rebuilding institutions and reshaping priorities."Highlighting Bangladesh's pressing need for a skilled healthcare workforce, Professor Yunus said,
"We currently have a shortage of nurses. But nursing is not just a national concern—it's a global necessity. We want to train more nurses not only for Bangladesh but also for the world."
The chief adviser invited UK support to strengthen Bangladesh's under-resourced health sector.
