Bangladeshi health assistants strike for better pay, recognition, and jobs, continuing protests in Dhaka on Nov. 30, 2025.

Health assistants in Bangladesh continued an indefinite strike on November 30, 2025, demanding grade upgrades, fair recruitment, pay equity, and technical recognition. Thousands protested at Dhaka’s Central Shaheed Minar, with an 11-member delegation heading to the Secretariat. The walkout resumed after unmet demands from a November 28 deadline, following a brief pause in October to support a typhoid vaccination campaign. The workers, vital to rural healthcare, insist on a formal government order before ending the action.
