The Directorate General of Health Services has temporarily suspended all activities of Praava Health due to alleged “anomalies.”
There have been some complaints regarding the services of the private healthcare organization including providing faulty reports, said Dr Farid Hossain Miah, director of hospitals and clinics at the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
After finding proof of the anomalies in the operations of Praava Health, which provides door-to-door services, the organisation’s activities have been suspended and further investigations will be carried out in this regard, he added.
A probe committee, after visiting the organization, found irregularities such as charging Tk150 extra for registration after the Tk2,500 charge per Covid-19, donning and doffing of PPE in the same room which is hazardous, among others, said a DGHS statement published on Monday.
Earlier, the Department of Health launched an investigation into allegations that Praava Health had provided false reports of Covid-19 tests. The allegation was made by Mahfuz Shafique, son of former law minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed.
An investigation committee was formed by the DGHS.
