HC issues rule over professional behaviour of intern physicians

The High Court has issued a rule over applying Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council Act -2010 to ensure professional behaviour of intern physicians.

The HC also asked on Monday the government to explain as to why the rules relating to the professional behaviour of the interns according to the act should not be applied properly.

An HC bench of Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury and Justice Md Iqbal Kabir issued the rule following a writ petition.

Advocate Syed Hassan Zubayer stood for the petitioner, reports UNB.

Secretaries to Health and Family Welfare, Education and Law ministries, Director General of the Directorate of Health Services, Vice-Chancellor of Rajshahi University and five others have been made respondents to the rule returnable in two weeks.

Advocate Tanjim Al Islam, a council of the writ petitioner, said the patients and their relatives in different medical college hospitals have been suffering a lot by the indiscipline behaviour of some interns while taking treatment across the country and the occurrence of many unprecedented incidents were published in different newspapers.

"We have filed a writ petition, attaching newspaper reports on this, with the court," he said.
