Lawmaker Mo. Abul Kalam Azad raised concerns regarding unpaid wages for healthcare workers and outsourced staff at Upazila Health Complexes in the Khulna-6 area, stating they haven’t received pay for twenty months and are facing hardship. Health and Family Welfare Minister Mo. Sakhuwat Hossain responded, asserting that salaries and allowances for outsourced employees at Upazila Health Complexes have been paid up to June 2025. This discrepancy between the parliamentarian’s report and the minister’s statement raises questions about the accuracy of payment records and the financial stability of the healthcare system in the region. The situation highlights potential administrative issues in disbursing funds to outsourced healthcare personnel. Further investigation may be needed to reconcile the conflicting reports and ensure timely payment of wages. The reported lack of payment has led to difficult living conditions for affected workers. The minister’s statement suggests a resolution, but the initial claim points to a significant delay in compensation.
