Bribing for healthcare in Bangladesh - 17 Nov 09

The Dhaka Medical College Hospital in Bangladesh treats more than two million patients a year.

It claims to offer free medical treatment to the poor, but using a hidden camera, Al Jazeera has discovered that some patients have to pay bribes to receive any care at all.

What a shame. I have a feeling that the general himself takes bribe.

I don't know when this will stop. But I know for sure this will continue as long we have khalida or sheikh hasina in power.
