Medical Diploma

Health tech instt students protest decision on admission

RU Correspondent
Students of the Institute of Health Technology of Rajshahi under the banner of Students' Welfare Association (SWA) yesterday protested higher authorities decision which offered private clinic technicians aged 40 years an opportunity to study medical technology diploma course. They protested through a press conference held at a city restaurant where SWA president Refayet Hossain read out a written statement. The conference demanded immediate cancellation of the decision taken by the higher authorities at a meeting held on March 03. Students alleged the decision was taken to earn money from private clinic owners, not for education. They declared a five-day agitation programme including wearing of black badges, hoisting of black flag atop buildings and formation of human chain.
