	Bangladesh: Poor status of emergency treatment in Nitor - Bring discipline and develop capacity
	It is disheartening to note that the emergency unit of the country\'s prime hospital for accident victims, National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (Nitor), is suffering due to mismanagement and inadequate staff. As a result, critically injured patients are badly suffering from lack of proper emergency treatment.\r\nEach day around 120 to 180 patients rush to the emergency unit. But it has only 30 beds, most of which remain occupied most of the time. The unit is also understaffed. The patients suffer due to the long queues in the operation theatre. Due to lack of space the injured patients have to wait in front of the

	Bangladesh: Ambulance for the Poor
	Two years ago, when Rawshan Ara Begum of Naogaon\'s remote Saraswatipur village became pregnant for the first time, she sought no antenatal care. It was not the lack of awareness that stopped Rawshan Ara from visiting the Upazila Health Complex in Mohadevpur, about 10 km from Saraswatipur, for check-ups during her pregnancy. Rather, she dreaded the hour-long bumpy ride on a rickshaw-van.\r\nTo help ease the sufferings of pregnant women, Tajkir-Uz-Zaman came up with the idea of modifying a battery run easy bike into an ambulance. It has a siren atop and an oxygen cylinder inside the cabin, where patient can lie down easily on one side-seat whi
