Abstract

When doctors or other medical staff fail to exercise the standard of care, they have promised their patients, this isknown as medical negligence. Providing access to quality healthcare is the state's primary responsibility. As a result of a variety offactors, people in Bangladesh often go without the medical care they need. The right to life and the right to health care are directlythreatened by this situation, making it a serious human rights problem. The people of Bangladesh do not have an inherent rightto access to modern medical care. The provision of medical care facilities has been included as a core state policy in the Constitutionof the People's Republic of Bangladesh, although enforcement of this goal has been impossible under current law. Negligence onthe part of medical professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospital administration, as well as pathologists or pathology centers,can have devastating consequences, and yet victims sometimes have little options for redress. As a result, the people of Bangladeshrequire strong legal protection in order to be saved from medical negligence.
