In the above-mentioned long experience of leading the national health systems and exposure to a variety of global situations,
- I gained extensive knowledge, insights, experience, expertise, and skills about the health systems of Bangladesh and other countries of the world.
- I provided oversight to all public health programs, hospitals and clinics, supply chains across the health systems, and regulations and controls of public and private healthcare delivery and played an integral role in the policy, planning, strategy, guideline, enactment of laws, stewardship, health workforce recruitment-training-and-placement, identifying and solving health systems challenges, including promoting health issues that require more attention, viz., mental health, disability-and-health, etc.
- I led the institutions, facilities, organizations, and teams across the country having well over 200,000 staff, and kept active liaison with all state and non-state actors both at home and aboard.
- I confronted the real-world situation and acquired in-depth knowledge of the complexity of the national health supply chain system in the country and could successfully manage the challenges in the given context as and when they were encountered irrespective of the urgency. So, I needed to play the oversight role during the development of the Online Procurement Portal and the Supply Chain Management System of the MoH.
- I demonstrated outstanding success in quickly managing 4 major public health emergencies, viz., sudden influx of about a million Rohingyas (2017), Chikungunya in Dhaka (2017); Dengue (2019), and COVID-19 (2020).
I served in both the ADG positions at DGHS
- As ADG (admin), as a close coworker of DG, I contributed with special attention to improving the administrative, management, and some health workforce matters.
- As ADG (planning & development), I oversaw the future planning of national health systems and services and the ongoing health sector development activities under the Health, Population and Nutrition Sector Program (HPNSP) 2011-2016 and the development of HPNSP for 2017-2022, when I worked closely with donors and development partners.
