Doctor's 'negligence'

I would, however, beg to submit that the report in the newspaper did not seem to cover all aspects and therefore seemed to be somewhat biased.

First, it never mentioned the link between the Gulshan health care centre and BIRDEM, the most renowned health care institution of the country. The report even called the centre a clinic. A reference to BIRDEM would have clearly explained the objectives and priorities of the centre. BIRDEM has founded such health care centres in different areas of the city. This has reduced the rush and congestion in the BIRDEM main centre and at the Dr. Ibrahim Memorial Hospital at Shahbag. This has also helped the diabetic patients by providing services near their homes.

Secondly, the report was published a long time after the incident. The delay has not been explained.

Finally, the report seems to have been based solely on the views and comments of parents. Interviewing some other doctors and the staff of the centre might have made the report truly objective.
