Govt to recruit 2,000 doctors through special BCS exam

Dr Md Sayedur Rahman, a special assistant to the chief adviser, has said the interim government has taken initiatives to recruit 2,000 doctors through a special Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examination.

He unveiled the plan at a press conference held at the ministry of health and family welfare on Thursday.

Dr Sayed said though some 3,463 doctors will be recruited through the last three regular BCS examinations (45th, 46th and 47th), the government has planned to recruit 2,000 more doctors through the special BCS examination considering the crisis of doctors in the country's remote areas.

We have already sent letters to the ministry of public administration in this regard, said Dr Sayed, noting that government has also proposed the ministry raise age-bar at 34 years for only doctors to sit for BCS examinations.
