Key Legal & Regulatory Pillars in Bangladesh
- 1. The High Court Mandate on Legible Prescriptions: The High Court of Bangladesh directed all registered medical practitioners to write prescriptions clearly in capital letters or provide computer-printed digital prescriptions to eliminate fatal pharmacy dispensing errors. Digital printing via Doctors Canvas fulfills this legal requirement completely.
- 2. BMDC Code of Medical Ethics & Registration: Every digital prescription generated on Doctors Canvas automatically includes the doctor's official BMDC registration number, validated academic degrees (MBBS, BDS, FCPS, MD, MS, MRCP), and official chamber timings, adhering strictly to BMDC documentation rules.
- 3. Physician Decision-Making & Legal Liability: In medical law, artificial intelligence is categorized as a clinical decision support tool (CDST). Shifa AI suggests treatment protocols, but the registered physician retains full legal authority to review, adjust, and sign off on the prescription. The physician remains the sole prescribing authority.
- 4. Data Privacy & AES-256 Encryption: Patient health records are protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS encryption in transit, upholding the confidentiality of medical records under Bangladesh law.
