Private Sector Healthcare Regulatory Administration in Bangladesh

The article examined the regulatory health administration in Bangladesh’s private healthcare industry. Between December 2018 and January 2019, this study employed qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews. The data were gathered from hospitals and clinics run by private persons, organisations and businesses that provide for-profit services. Additionally, document analysis of journal publications and news stories was undertaken. The regulatory health administrative system is complex as a result of excessive centralisation, overload, duplication of functions, oversight of regulations and delays in decision-making , all of which exaggerate policy and administration performance. Inadequate regulatory oversight contributed to a variety of malpractices and abuses in private sector healthcare. The article’s scope of research is limited to the public policy component of healthcare regulatory administration. The essay analyses regulatory health administration in the context of Bangladesh. The ineffective regulatory administration has had a detrimental effect on people’s health. The article recommends boosting regulatory health administration in the public interest by strengthening regulatory, statutory entities. The value of this study is that it provides an unbiased analysis of a country’s healthcare system. The study’s findings could also be used to the development of public policy in similar socio-economic circumstances.
