The recruitment will take May appointment counts for doctors and other health workers to a record 10,000. Earlier, in the first week of May, the government recruited 2,000 doctors and 5,000 nurses to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. They have started working at COVID-19 hospitals across the country as the recruiting process ended a week ago, Habibur said. “The directorate is recruiting a record number of 10,000 doctors, nurses and health officials in a single month something the Directorate General of Health Services never experienced before,” Habibur said. However, Bangladesh recruited around 6,000 physicians earlier in 2014.
