DS editorial on the above subject was a very timely publication depicting the true conditions of some private medical colleges. My heartfelt thanks to you for the valuable comments on the subject.

Being an old retired medical educationist, I pioneered the first private medical college in 1986 (Bangladesh Medical College) surmounting all antagonism of the Health Ministry and the Medical Association with the hope of improving the standard of our medical education and producing qualified and dedicated medical graduates. But the commercial motivation of the powerful group made me disheartened and inactive.
