Certifying healthcare providers
This write-up is in response to the Point-Counterpoint article "A Call for Certifying Healthcare Providers" by Dr. Syed Saad Andaleeb. The healthcare industry in Bangladesh recently has been receiving a lot of flak for the disregard for safety, malpractice and of course most importantly the lack of accountability that exists in the system. The author brings up a crucial topic of certification to keep physicians and care providers up to date, similar to those faced by their counterparts in other countries.
One thing that must be taken note of is that the process of certifying and holding healthcare providers and institutes accountable via certification to provide better service, according to the writer, is to primarily increase consumer trust in the industry.
