Preface

The 500 bedded, Kurmitola General Hospital was built three years back with a view to ensure proper health care services to the habitants of the northern part of greater Dhaka, especially the distressed poor community. Presently the hospital is functioning full swing with only 40% of approved manpower including indoor, outdoor, surgery, pathology, radiology, dialysis and burn unit etc. Due to paucity of manpower, budget and other logistics, some departments, like Blood bank, ICU, CCU, Neuro-medicine, Nero-Surgery, Psychiatry, physical medicine etc. are yet to begin. Hospital is now vibrant with almost 21-2500 outdoor patients and 300-350 indoor patients daily. It was revealed in last MIS conference in DGHS that this hospital faced second highest outdoor patients turnout among all the hospitals in country. It is reducing the patient-load of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Suhruwardi Medical College Hospital, NITOR & other hospitals around the city. Since its journey began, it has proved its uniqueness by serving humanity and working towards only proposed green hospital in public sector. It has also acted as the maiden MRCS examination centre sponsored by Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), IHR (International health regulation) partner, and nationally recognized only “Ebola” or any emerging infectious disease(e.g. MERS, cor, Zica etc) management ward. If all the requirements are fulfilled by the concerned authority, it will be a center of excellence very soon.

Important information and necessary issues you want to raise
I would like to address some of the important issues which if solved will help us to achieve better results in terms of patients care: 1. Acute shortage of manpower. This 500 bedded hospital is currently being run by 40% of manpower which definitely hinders patient care. Remaining 60% manpower should be approved soon by concerned authority to overcome the present condition. 2. Nurse patient ratio is much lower than expected should be improved. 3. Burn & Plastic Surgery unit of KGH is still running short of skill manpower, it should be fulfilled by arranging required manpower (trained burn care nurses & dressers.) 4. New 15 bedded ICU is going to be established shortly but still without intensivist & anesthetist. 5. EBOLA, Infectious disease including Zica ward has already been established in this hospital without proper infrastructures as recommended by Bio Safety experts. 6. Dialysis unit has been established without neurologists. All activities and achievements will be more effective if DGHS & MOHFW looks into the above difficulties and take steps to resolve it.
