The parliamentary sitting was presided over by Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaisar Kamal.
Highlighting worker health as a top priority for his administration, PM Tarique Rahman explained that these hospitals will be customized in naming, structure, and medical specialization to cater specifically to factory laborers. During his address, he also reflected on past policy missteps during authoritarian rule, noting how energy security, domestic industrial development, and public healthcare networks—especially rural medical access—were systematically compromised, driving citizens to seek medical care outside the country. Reaffirming the democratic mandate of the government, he stated that the administration is committed to safeguarding worker rights and rapidly executing healthcare infrastructure projects.
