adverse drug reactions (ADR)

The pharmaceutical sector of Bangladesh is uprising day by day and the quality of drugs is touching an expected level, thereby is recognized by US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and UK's MHRA (United Kingdom's Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency).  However, the health sector of Bangladesh has not yet well developed due to antibiotic resistance, adverse drug reactions and improper management of drugs. On the contrary, Bangladesh is developing enormously in the information and communication technology sectors. So, it is very much possible to introduce a network based health care system by which the health sector of Bangladesh can be improved. Information and communication technology can be used to overcome those healthcare drawbacks by maintaining a proposed Diseases and Diagnostics Database system (DDD). Thus, we conducted a survey based on the necessity of DDD among Health professionals (MBBS doctors, Students, Intern doctors, Emergency medical officers), Pharmaceutical company executives and Faculties of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka. According to our survey, 100% agree with the poor condition of our health sector and the emergency of DDD.  So, proper initiation and maintenance of DDD may be a strong weapon to develop health sectors relating to patients compliance and pharmaceutical development which will foster the economy of our country.
