Hasina's doctor is new VC at BSMMU

Dhaka, Mar 24 (bdnews24.com) — One of Sheikh Hasina's personal physicians, Prof Pran Gopal Dutta, has been appointed as new vice chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Chairman of neuromedicine, Prof Anisul Haque, and chairman of neonatology, Prof Shahidullah, were appointed as pro vice-chancellors, the health ministry said in a press release on Tuesday. President of BSMMU Teachers Association, Prof Muazzem Hossain, was appointed treasurer. Former VC Nazrul Islam, along with his pro-VCs and treasurer, resigned his post on Sunday, citing 'personal reasons', though Islam also said at the time he had faced pressures from doctors and other quarters over appointments to vacant posts. Dutta, the famed ENT specialist, treated Hasina after the Aug 21, 2004 blast that left her almost deaf. bdnews24.com/mrf/rah/2317h
