Abstract: When doctors or other medical staff fail to exercise the standard of care, they have promised their patients, this is known as medical negligence. Providing access to quality healthcare is the state’s primary responsibility. As a result of a variety of factors, people in Bangladesh often go without the medical care they need. The right to life and the right to health care are directly threatened by this situation, making it a serious human rights problem. The people of Bangladesh do not have an inherent right to access to modern medical care. The provision of medical care facilities has been included as a core state policy in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, although enforcement of this goal has been impossible under current law. Negligence on the 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 Bangladesh require strong legal protection in order to be saved from medical negligence.
