Playing foul with cancer treatment

One such outfit has been detected at Mohakhali in the city. The story of this clinic is not different from that of a large number of privately run medical installations which fall far short of meeting the requirements, even the legal ones. The Mohakhali clinic is not registered with the health directorate. And do we really need anything more to conclude that its business is not legal?

Those who are running unregistered clinics are not only violating the law, but are also guilty of short-changing people in the name of medicare. They have turned a noble profession into an ignominious calling. But what is really surprising is why the health authorities have not done anything against the owners of such clinics.

The unregistered clinics occasionally making news may be just the tip of an iceberg. The government must intervene massively by way of a searching survey to determine the exact number of such illegal medicare outfits so as to put them out of business.
