Abstract
Arafat SM Yasir
The doctor patient relationship is an important and the most difficult interpersonal relationship in health care and throughout the history it has been scrutinized. It was aimed to look into the status of available literatures on doctor patient relationship in context of Bangladesh and to see the current pattern of the relationship existing in Bangladesh. Search was done in PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar & BanlaJOL with searching key words till to date and unfortunately only one article was found on the topic in Bangladesh context. Fortunately the article validated the relationship measuring instrument which opens the sector to use that and to create benchmark data bases as well as to move further. There is extreme paucity of literatures on doctor patient relationship in Bangladesh context and to create a benchmark data as well as to establish and improve the professional relationship between the doctor and patients the sector demands adequate research on immediate basis.
