Politics & professionals:Scenario of doctors in Bangladesh

In a democratic governence there is no alternative of politics.Every political group must have their own ideology to run the state & they should try their level best to implement their manifesto after getting verdict of the majority of citizen.The democratic systems allows the politicians to fuifil their ideology from the top of the system.Public servents acts according their directions.
Every individual voters may vote according their choice between parties, that does not mean he must belong to a particular party that he votes .We experienced a vast majority of our public servants declares their political idendtity in a malafide intention for many years.Professionals like doctors,engineers,agriculturist also following the same track,even in the judiciary too.

Now what is the intentions of doing so? Mostly follow hippocatic means only for personal intersts.When political loyality determines the fitness over skill & merit, the systems can not act as efficiantly as it could be.As a politically conscious professional I discovered,most of the doctors leading the political wings of a party are doing so because of their lacking eitther in skill or academic qualifications in respective speciality even though they dont believe the idiology of that political party,only to get illegal benefits.
Most of the junior doctors are getting involved under the leadership of this corrupt professional leader only just to get admission in a course,for a good posting or for an academic posting.Does any patient benefit results from this groupings?Simply think a doctor attending a patient after asking his political identity,should we wait to see that horrible scenario?
Politicians should realise this indirectly hampers to implement their goals by giving benefit of these hippocrat professionals & therby suffers the nation to as a whole.
I realise in athe public health sector there should be regular promotion like other public cadre service gets.It should be ensured that a doctor is not retiring in the same post he entered in the service.If someone becomes a secretary or a chief engineer without acquiring any further education why not the doctors.Off course qualification should be mandatory for academic & clinical promotions/posting.
There may be a different organogram for those who doesnt enroll into further education,this will encourage doctors to stay at their place of jobs rather then getting involved in DG based corruption posting & promotions which is the prime reason of this political grouping.
Like judicial system there should be a separate pay scale for doctors working in public health system.
In our country Private hospitals are going ahead targetting rich groups .It is the poor people who are suffering & will suffer if we can not break this system.Good politicians always think most about the poorer section of the nation because that is their goal todo politics to upgrade this section & bring sustainable development.
