Salim, who was beaten by hospital staff
It is a systematic plan to rob from the patient attendants with the name of admission, in hospital the patient carts are available in the emergency word and no need to collect by patient attendants, said a NGO worker who always visit the hospital to help the patient.
“The on duty doctor knew that the patient was died, why he sent the patient attendant to bring the cart from fourth floors. The meaning is the hospital staffs are trying to rob the patients who come early morning or midnight.”
At last movement, the refugee dead body was not admitted at hospital.
Salim including his family members complained to the Camp-in-charge regarding the matter. But, Kamrual Zamman, the Camp-in-charge informed the UNHCR and RRRC office. The Camp-in-charge has been trying to take action against culprits with the cooperation of UNHCR and RRRC. But, the investigation is going on, said an aide of camp authority.
“We fled to Bangladesh from Burma for persecution, but here we face the same. Where are our rights and dignity?” said an elder refugee from the camp.
