The private institution 'Payra Hospital' began its journey in Mirzaganj, Patuakhali, with a vow to provide accurate medical services at low cost, marked by an auspicious inauguration and prayer ceremony. The inauguration was held with a grand ceremony on the Upazila Health Complex Road at 4 PM on Friday (December 19), inaugurated by the Chairman and chief guest of the institution, Dr. Nazrul Islam Akash. About five hundred invited guests, including hospital officers and employees, and political and local dignitaries, were present at the event, hosted by the Convener of the Upazila Volunteer Team, Md. Rafiqul Islam.

The Managing Director of the hospital, Dr. Md. Hasan Zaman, said, "We have started the journey of this institution with the aim of providing advanced services at low cost. Here, various pathological tests, primary treatment, and medical consultation services will be provided through modern equipment. There will be regular specialist doctors. We will conduct tests and examinations with world-class quality machines, while keeping costs low. Business is not our main goal. Providing good medical service is our main objective. No one's treatment will be stopped due to lack of money."

Speaking as a special guest, former President of Upazila BNP, Alhaj Md. Ashraf Ali Howladar, said, "The people of the area had to travel to distant places for advanced medical services and various tests. With the launch of this hospital, necessary healthcare will now be available locally, which will reduce the suffering of common people. I hope this hospital will play an important role in the healthcare of the people of the area."

In his speech as the chief guest, Dr. Nazrul Islam said, "There are many institutions in Mirzaganj. Today, Payra Hospital has started its journey. Earning money is not the final word; trust must be earned by providing good service to people. It is only possible to gain people's trust in an institution by providing good treatment and tests and delivering accurate reports."

At the event, special prayers were held wishing for the recovery of BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, for the forgiveness of the souls of the martyrs killed in the Liberation War of '71 including Sharif Osman Bin Hadi who was killed by miscreants' bullets, and those killed in the July mass uprising, and for the overall development of the hospital.
