The government has appointed Abul Bashar Mohammad Khurshid Alam, a professor of surgery at Dhaka Medical College as the director general of health services, replacing Abul Kalam Azad.
The Health Services Division announced the appointment of Alam, hours after terminating a contract with Azad on Thursday.
The changes come as the DGHS is struggling to regain public trust amid a series of scams related to COVID-19 tests.
