Poor patients

Some people come to Dhaka only to get treatment in Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The number of doctors and nurses is very few compared to the number of patients. Hence, the patients are deprived of proper treatment. The beds are always booked and the new patients have to lie on the floor. According to a news channel, the cleaners and other staff replace the doctors at night and carry out operations even. The condition is same in every government hospital. This is the reason why rich people don't go to government hospitals for treatment. Many TV channels and many newspapers have tried to show the problems of these hospitals, but still no change has occurred. Thus, the poor patients suffer a lot and often die due to lack of care. I would request the health ministry of the government to visit Dhaka Medical College Hospital so that the condition of the government hospitals will be clear to them as well.
