Most of the country’s export-oriented readymade garment (RMG) factories brought their workers under the health care facility, sector insiders said on Sunday at a programme. Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) vice president Reaz-Bin-Mahmood said 98 per cent RMG factories ensured medicare for their workers and employees. He was speaking at a seminar on “Sexual & Reproductive Health & Right for Female Garment Worker (SRHR)” organised by SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, held at BGMEA office in the city. He said the industry owners are providing more time for the training of the workers on health care issues. Paul Stevens, Country Director, SNV Bangladesh, said, “Betterment of the lives of the low-income population is what we all want.”
