With a view to addressing the challenges of community paramedics in Bangladesh and ways to move ahead, TARSAN-CSO, a healthcare project by Swisscontact in collaboration with Research, Training and Management (RTM) International Bangladesh held a consultative meeting recently at a local hotel in the city, says a press release. The dialogue titled "Community Paramedic — An Introduction to Accessible and Quality Healthcare Delivery for Rural Bangladesh" highlighted the need of training of community paramedic to fill the acute shortage of human resources for healthcare to provide maternal and child health and other reproductive health services at union level and below. Community Paramedic (CP) course has already been developed, but waiting for its final approval by the government body. Experts and representatives of different organisations who took part in the meeting urged the authority concerned to expedite the process of affiliation, and for the smooth functioning of the quality CP training course.
