An Analysis of Medical Negligence in the Context of Duty of Care of at Private Hospitals and Clinics in Bangladesh

Abstract

Medical Negligence in Bangladesh has resulted from a natural disaster, and various concerns have arisen as a result. The research also discovered several shortcomings in our country's statutory laws regarding medical negligence. The primary research method was evaluating some recent and prior medical negligence compensation that occurred, particularly in the last 10 years. The primary research approach, on the other hand, was an examination of secondary sources such as journals, books, and internet articles. Medical negligence is an obvious violation of the right to health. Because the right to health is one of the fundamental principles of state policy, the government is obligated to safeguard it. Many nations throughout the world have passed medical negligence laws. Bangladesh's situation differs from that of other countries. There are several directives and legislation, however they are not fully codified. In this paper, an attempt has been made to identify gaps in current regulations, and recommendations have been made to prevent healthcare providers from violating patients' health rights.
