PM wishes to get treatment in the country
Recently PM Sheikh Hasina has expressed her firm desire to get treatment in Bangladesh if she falls sick. This reflects her greatness and deep respect for the country's medical system.
Meanwhile, it is true that every year a lot of Bangladeshis travel to India, Thailand, Singapore and other countries for treatment by spending a large amount of foreign currency, which is really unfortunate. But there is no doubt that some critical medical conditions compel the Bangladeshi patients to go abroad for receiving better treatment. It is not that we do not have enough medical facilities and qualified doctors, but in many cases, patients cannot keep their trust in the doctors. The government needs to overhaul the whole medical sector and win back the trust of patients so that they take treatment in the country.
