Reduce doctor's fee
At present doctors are taking Taka 400-500 as fee from each patient. It's impossible to pay such amount to the doctors by day labourers, rickshaw pullers, garment workers and other low income people. There is no treatment in the government hospitals. Most of the specialised doctors are government doctors. Doctors see the patients in his private chamber in the morning, in the lunch break and in the afternoon. But the main business starts in the evening and it finishes at around 11 p.m. To see a patient, a doctor takes at the most 4-5 minutes. Doctors are just running after money. Some doctors visit around 50 patients a day but they enlist only 10 patients.
The government should take some necessary action to reduce doctor's fee and take steps in favour of the poor people.
