DHAKA, Bangladesh — May 13, 2025:
Specialist doctors who allege systemic discrimination following their recruitment through the 33rd BCS (Health) examination held a press conference in Dhaka on Tuesday, vehemently protesting their exclusion from the "Super Numerary Assistant Professor promotion." The aggrieved doctors voiced their deep frustration and sense of injustice at being denied career advancement opportunities they believe are rightfully theirs based on their qualifications and years of dedicated service within Bangladesh's public health system.
During the press briefing, the specialists detailed what they described as significant inconsistencies and discriminatory practices within the promotion process. They presented their case, highlighting the specific ways in which they feel they have been unfairly disadvantaged compared to their peers. The doctors articulated the detrimental impact this lack of promotion has had on their careers and morale, emphasizing their commitment to serving the nation's health despite these setbacks.
The press conference served as a powerful platform for these specialist doctors to bring their grievances to the forefront of public attention, directly appealing to the media and relevant government authorities for intervention. Their primary demand is a fair and equitable resolution to the alleged discrimination, including the immediate granting of the "Super Numerary Assistant Professor promotion" they believe they have been unjustly deprived of. This public outcry underscores ongoing concerns regarding transparency and fairness in career progression within the public health sector for specialist physicians recruited through the highly competitive BCS examination process.
