Building complete, function zero
A news item in The Daily Star (July 2nd, 2010 Page 12, Column 1-4) says, that a four-story building at MAG Osmani Medical College in Sylhet was lying idle for more than three and a half years. This building was intended for the ICU unit and a large casualty ward. For the functioning of the building two other components were necessary, i.e. the urgent need for the medical supplies and the instruments, and the doctors and nurses and ancillary staff, down to the cleaners. For the success of the above project, there had to be necessary co-ordination, for all the three needs. Failure of co-ordination is a complete waste of our own very scare resources. The above instance can be found in hundreds of our own projects. What is the remedy? A good management team is not enough.
