dc.description.abstractThe quality of health care is the consequence of strong link between service providers and user of the services. Perceived quality is one of the principal determinant of utilisation and non-utilisation of health services, a major issue in developing countries. Considering this, the present study was aimed to assess the quality of care in in-patient and outpatient departments of rural and urban government hospitals in Bangladesh. A total of 2420 patients were interviewed. The patients were selected by using systematic random sampling technique. Results revealed that age, waiting time, time spent for patient examination, place of treatment, income, years of schooling and male sex appeared to be independent predictors of patient satisfaction (p<0.001). Age, waiting time and years of schooling were negatively related with level of satisfaction indicating younger patients, less waiting time and patients with less education were more satisfied, whereas time spent for examination, income were positively related with patient's satisfaction. Patients attending at the urban hospitals and male sex were also significantly associated with patient's satisfaction. The study recommends that both short and long-term policy action should be adopted for quality assurance of the existing health care facilities in Bangladesh.en_US
