The High Court (HC) on Tuesday wanted to know the progress for fixing charges and fees of private clinics and hospitals and diagnostic centres and displaying the charges’ chart in public view.
The court also sought a report from the Health Secretary on the update of framing rules for running private clinics, hospitals and diagnostic centres.
As per the HC order, the Health Secretary has to submit the report to the HC by March 5.
The bench of Justice J B M Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam passed the order and fixed March 7 for passing further order on this issue.
The HC bench passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed by Human Rights Lawyers and Securing Environment Society of Bangladesh.
The organization in the petition sought necessary orders from the HC so that the private hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres run well.
Following the same petition, the HC on July 24 last year directed all the private hospitals, clinics, laboratories and diagnostic centers to display the price list of their services openly.
Health Secretary, Directorate General of Health Services and Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council were asked to implement this order within 15 days after getting the order’s copy.
