Foreign doctors
You must have noticed that a number of foreign doctors, especially Indian doctors are working in Bangladesh. Some of them are working here in the name of technical collaboration and some of them are simply consulting individually. It is the law of the soil that any foreign doctor must have necessary registration from Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). Not only Bangladesh, this type of law exists in each and every country of the world. We have no objections if some new technologies are introduced and hands-on training are given to our local doctors by the foreign physicians. But this is quite unacceptable that they are violating the existing laws and also some of them are working without work permit. The question arises, why should we need regulatory bodies like BMDC, Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. If they think that Bangladesh should remain free for all doctors in the world who could practice here without registration, they should declare that and declare themselves non-existent. We do not need any impotent bodies being run with the money from public coffers.
