Abstract
"The WHO guidelines may prove to be an effective way to teach health ethics in Bangladesh. The success of such an effort will depend partly on how medical colleges respond to the idea (2). It will also depend on the opinions of key persons involved in the process. It is suggested that teachers are the first group whose views should be obtained in this regard. The survey is based on self-administered, structured questionnaires given to 39 teachers from seven departments (medicine, paediatrics, surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, psychiatry, community medicine, and forensic medicine) of Dhaka Medical College. These teachers had attended orientation workshops on the WHO guidelines for teaching health ethics and their usage. Following the workshop, the teachers used the guidelines and selected case reports to hold lectures, tutorials and bedside lectures with a total of 965 students."
