Hossne Ara Clinic and Diagnostic Centre has begun operations in Badrkhali, a coastal area under Matamuhuri upazila of Cox’s Bazar, aiming to improve access to healthcare and diagnostic services for local residents.
The facility was inaugurated on Friday after Juma prayers on the BIWTA Road, adjacent to Dubai Market in Badrkhali.
Alhaj Sarwar Alam Sikder, president of the Badrkhali Cooperative Society’s Agriculture and Colonisation Committee, attended the inauguration as the chief guest.
Special guests included Moin Uddin BA, secretary of the society, vice-president Didarul Islam Monir and Badrkhali Union Parishad panel chairman Saddam Hossain.
To mark the opening, the clinic organised a daylong free medical camp. Specialist doctors Rashedul Kader Babu, Abu Ahmed Shamsul Asif, Sumaiya Sharmin (Proma) and Mahadi Hasan Rifat provided medical consultations to patients.
Local residents expressed hope that the new clinic and diagnostic centre would make healthcare and diagnostic services more accessible to people in Badrkhali and surrounding areas.
They also noted that Dr Hossne Ara had previously provided homeopathic treatment to residents of the area, including pregnant women, earning a reputation for her services.
