National Health Policy
A new version of National Health Policy has been published and is available on website. It contains many elements that can introduce several good things in the health sector. It has a proposal for reactivating Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council. Actually the Medical Council of all the civilised countries controls health services much more than the government does. But the irony is that about fifty percent of the doctors serving in government and non government organisations are not registered. The proposed policy also contains the element to control the quality of drugs, that may go against some manufacturers. Actually the quality of drugs produced in the country still requires control. It has one unique element to strengthen the referral system and also manpower development.
Manpower development is very essential in health service.
