The second batch brought together 18 participants, including key healthcare professionals and administrative staff, who engaged in discussions, case studies, and group activities focused on the practical application of GTA and HRBA concepts. The session concluded with a certificate distribution ceremony attended by Mr. Md. Altaf Hossain, Executive Director of BAPSA, and Md. Hadayeat Ullah Bhuiyan, Director of BAPSA, along with other senior officials.
