Doctors Association of Bangladesh, DAB

The Last Message on DAB by Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim On the occasion of the upcoming conference of the Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB), I extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to all the members and leaders of the organization. Inspired by the ideals of martyred President Ziaur Rahman, this organization is a leading platform for patriotic doctors engaged in the medical profession. The health sector is one of the main foundations of a nation's fundamental rights and development. Building a modern, scientific and humane health system is not only the responsibility of the government, but also the moral and professional responsibility of doctors. I firmly believe that DAB will play a leading role in the structural development of the country's health sector, building modern infrastructure and making healthcare accessible and affordable to the general public. In the current context, the weaknesses and difficulties of the country's health system have forced us to think in a new way and move towards long-term planning. Therefore, through this conference, DAB will determine its new course of action and play an effective role in meeting the challenges of the future - this is my expectation. DAB has played a strong role in protecting public health since its inception. I believe that this organization will continue to make the greatest contribution to health sector reforms, policy-making, and the development of the healthcare system in the future. Let us all work together to build a healthy, vibrant, and humane Bangladesh – where every citizen will be assured of their fundamental right to healthcare. May Allah help us.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim On the occasion of the Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) Council and Election 2025, I extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to all the doctors of the country, especially the dedicated members of DAB. This election has brought a big change in the history of DAB. For the first time, all members are getting the opportunity to choose their leadership by voting directly. This is a reflection of our democratic spirit – where transparency, participation and trust are created. DAB is not just a professional organization – it is part of our national history, independence and human values. In addition to protecting the rights of doctors, DAB has always taken a clear stand for justice, humanity and democracy. The health sector has been given top priority in the 31-point program announced by our party. We want to build a health system that is affordable, quality and modern for all. Where doctors will be respected, there will be accountability in health administration, and the people will get dignified services. I believe that DAB can be a strong partner in achieving this goal – by actively participating in research, consultation, policy-making and public awareness-building. Let this election be the beginning of new possibilities for DAB. We want DAB to become a strong platform to protect the dignity of doctors and the people’s right to healthcare. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the members of the election management committee. Their hard work and dedication made this election a success.
