'Ensure good governance in health sector'

Staff Correspondent
Speakers yesterday stressed the need to eliminate corruption and ensure good governance in the country's medical sector to uphold people's trust in doctors. They called upon doctors to refrain from displaying uncertified and confusing online degrees, for instance FRCH online, that are pushing the role of physicians towards controversy. They made the remarks at the closing ceremony of a three-day long debate festival on 'Good governance in the medical sector- Effective prevention of corruption' organised by Dhaka Medical College (DMC) Debating Club in association with Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) at Shaheed Dr Milon Auditorium in the capital. “Debate is the art of supporting one's own side through rational argument, and a debate programme on corruption prevention can produce a breakthrough in raising awareness about corruption,” said TIB Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman. DMC Principal Prof Quazi Deen Mohammad, DMCH Director Brig Gen Mustafizur, and Dr Hasanur Rahman also addressed the programme.
