A recent meeting between former chief adviser of the interim government Dr Muhammad Yunus and global healthcare firm Apex Health has sparked criticism on social media.
On 7 May, Yunus wrote in a Facebook post, “Senior leaders from international health company Apex Health met with Prof Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen chain of healthcare social business companies. The meeting, organised by the executive team and advisers of Grameen Healthcare Trust, explored how shared expertise, academic programmes, and healthcare delivery models can meaningfully build capacity across Bangladesh within a social business framework.”
In response to Yunus, journalist Zulkarnain Saer said in another Facebook post, “After seeing this post by Muhammad Yunus, I’ve been feeling deeply uncomfortable. Just look at the level of the man’s absurdity. At a time when more than 400 children have reportedly died in a measles outbreak due to the failures and reckless decisions of his interim administration, this thick-skinned man writes: ‘A High Level Conversation on the Future of Healthcare in Bangladesh.’”
“Perhaps with age, he has completely lost his sense of shame. With what face does he still talk about Bangladesh’s healthcare sector? And alongside this, we have both the government and opposition parties — neither side seems willing to discuss the deaths of more than 400 children allegedly caused by the failures of the Yunus administration. No one is calling for protests anymore, no one is marching toward government buildings to demand accountability from the Yunus administration. Because, after all, the objective has already been achieved,” Saer added.
So far, at least 350 people have died and around 50,000 others have been infected by measles-rubella epidemic, with experts blaming the interim government’s apathy towards timely vaccination behind the crisis.
