The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has
ordered all privately-run medical facilities across the country to mention their
license details on their signboards amid a crackdown on unregistered
institutions.
In an order issued on Thursday, the health directorate
warned that punitive measures will be taken against those who fail to comply
with the directive, reports UNB.
“All private hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers and
blood banks must mention the license number along with its date of expiry on
their signboards. If necessary, they should display it with a QR code.
Otherwise, they will face legal consequences.”
The move aims to ensure proper services for patients at
medical facilities and bring transparency to the healthcare sector, according
to DGHS Director Md Belal Hossain.
“On many occasions, the DGHS has found hospitals or clinics
operating without authorization. Through this process, we can easily identify
the facilities that are unlicensed. If they have a registration number, they
must display it. A number of legal provisions apply here. Initially, they will
be warned. If they still fail to register, we’ll shut [the hospital or clinic]
down.”
The health directorate launched a drive against the unregistered private medical facilities on Aug 29. As many as 700 institutions across Bangladesh have been closed for failing to meet registration requirements, while the authorities have also collected fines worth Tk 1.1 million until Aug 31.
