Walton Hi-Tech Industries Director SM Mahbubul Alam said, “The country’s physicians, nurses and healthcare workers carried out their regular medical services to control deadliest Covid-19 pandemic, while risking their own lives. I think that this sacrifice should be recognised.”
Prominent educationalist Syed Anwar Husain thanked the initiative of honouring the country’s physicians, nurses and healthcare workers, and hoped that other businesses would also follow suit.
