There are numerous service providers in Bangladesh. There are many service providers that we may never go to in our lifetime. But healthcare is one sector where we are all bound to go. Rather, it can be said that the health sector is where our life begins and ends. We are all aware of the extreme mismanagement of this sector. Some of my requests to the Commission on its reform:
1. Completely stop charging doctors from diagnostic centers for doing patient tests.
2. Stop writing a company’s drug name on the prescription. Doctors will only prescribe generic names.
3. Make government doctors office nine to five. Now he goes to private practice after working till two o’clock. And make sure to come to the hospital at 9 am.
4. Stop private practice of government doctors. No other category of government officers have any private practice like Engineers. Well why aren’t the cops taking this opportunity like the doctor?!? They opened the chamber after office hours like doctors and provided police services!!
5. If government doctors want to do private practice alone, they must do so at their own place of work, after office hours.
6. Stop all benefits doctors receive from drug companies. Home appliances, refrigerators, TVs… even traveling abroad are taken from medicine companies. Let’s see how drug companies are selling gifts on the sidewalk next to Neelkhet.
7. Apart from a few duty doctors, no doctor is present in the government hospital after 2 pm. But the same doctor sees patients in private for 8/10 hours daily past midnight; by operation
8. There are about 300 doctors in the National Heart Institute. But after 2 pm, even if the dying patient comes there, there is no minimum treatment like angiogram. Such situation exists in every government hospital. But the private hospitals owned by the doctors of this government hospital provide any kind of treatment round the clock.
9. No doctor in government service can be owner or share holder of any private clinic. They shift patients from government hospitals to private hospitals.
10. Abroad training for upskilling of doctors is very less. Arrange training abroad at a higher rate.
11. The highest talents of the country come to the medical profession. But they get less privileges than the admin cadre. Make their privileges at par with admin cadre.
12. Since doctors earn a lot of money in private practice, they are not very vocal about these benefits. Again, when speaking on behalf of private practice, the reason for getting less privileges from the admin cadre!
13. Hand over the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and other offices in the health sector to doctors.
14. Class III and IV employees are not transferred between districts for low pay. In this opportunity they get involved in gross immorality by working in the same hospital for life. Transfer them to different government hospitals in the same district.
15. Complete lab facilities in every government hospital. There is no alternative to hiring contract lab technicians to start this service at the earliest. Recruit through the Ansar so that they can be fully controlled.
16. Make sure that every government hospital, starting from the assistant, has a separate uniform, so that the violence of brokers can be stopped here.
17. And if anyone has Aladdin’s candle, let me know that the monster can free doctors from politics! If this is given to the monster, he will surely have a heart attack, and the doctors will kill the monster without treatment!!!!
Again, the Commission set up to reform the medical system will not be able to resolve points 1 to 16 above. Because India will lose 80% of its medical tourism, along with 7 billion US dollars! In this case, Aladdin’s lamp is inevitable. And in this case, the solution of point 17 will definitely be done first by giving the monster!! Because this Cherag will also come from India!!!
