Following the government's cancellation of its license, Ad-din Hospital authorities in a appeal on Thursday expressed hope that the government would allow them to continue regular hospital operations for the interest of patients until a final decision is reached on the matter.
The hospital authorities emphasized that despite the unwanted and tragic incident, all medical services at the Moghbazar facility—widely considered a reliable healthcare destination for lower-middle and middle-class citizens—remain fully functional and regular.
"To ensure that ongoing patient care is not disrupted, all healthcare departments are operating normally," said Tarikul Islam Mukul, Director of Company Affairs at Ad-din Foundation.
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has cancelled the operational license of Ad-din Medical College Hospital in the capital's Moghbazar following the recent tragic deaths of six newborn babies.
According to a notification issued by the DGHS, the hospital management has been given 30 days to appeal to the government against the license cancellation order.
The hospital authorities in a statement said that a total of 416 patients are currently admitted across various departments of the hospital. On June 11 alone, the outpatient department (OPD) provided medical consultations and services to approximately 1,000 patients.
Furthermore, the hospital’s critical care units are heavily occupied, with 60 newborns currently receiving treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), 20 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and four patients under close monitoring in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).
The hospital management re-emphasized that a sudden halt to operations would trigger a severe healthcare crisis for the hundreds of critically ill individuals and infants currently under their care.
