What happened
Bangladesh's only specialized government neurosciences hospital doubled its bed capacity after Tarique Rahman inaugurated a new 500-bed building on August 15. However, the facility is experiencing a severe staffing shortage of over 40 percent, leaving 1,109 out of 2,728 approved posts vacant.

Why it matters
Despite the capacity increase, patient pressure remains heavy, and many arriving patients cannot be admitted. The hospital director stated that full services are expected to roll out within one and a half to two months, pending the filling of vacant positions.
Details are emerging regarding the five budgets implemented during Ziaur Rahman's tenure and the current budget under Tarique Rahman's leadership.
