ICU unit
A hospital cannot be called truly a hospital without the presence of some basic units in it. The intensive care unit (ICU) is one such inherent but basic part of a hospital. Our medical college hospitals do not have this life-saving unit. It is quite explicable that the government cannot provide everything for free where a big population of the country does not pay taxes. But setting up an ICU at medical college hospitals is a demand of time. Many local private hospitals in Bangladesh now have the know-how and they can help training nurses and technicians to run an ICU.
I think the expatriate Bangladeshi physicians should come forward to help their alma maters with modern knowledge and technologies in medicines. I am sure, if you tell your colleagues that you graduated from medical colleges where you did not see an ICU, you will be a laughed at . The alumni are one of the best resources in the USA of their alma maters. I hope you will come forward with your help and save the lives of the poor who cannot go to private hospitals. It is your moral obligation and duty. By sharing your knowledge and wealth, you can make the difference in Bangladesh's health sectors.
