Abstract
This is a proposal for the establishment of a patient counselling service to ensure patients' compliance to medicine. The patients in Bangladesh who are prescribed Erythropoietin (EPO) to treat anaemia due to Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) often stop taking the therapy because they do not understand the importance of taking the therapy & the possible consequences of non-compliance. Again, the number of Nephrologists in Bangladesh is so low that they do not have the time to counsel the patients regarding EPO therapy. To ensure medicinal compliance and to assist the Nephrologists, a patient counselling service needed to be established with funding from Roche Bangladesh Limited. Environmental analysis using SWOT and TOWS analyses has been done. A Stakeholder analysis has been done to identify the stakeholders involved. Appropriate options were identified and cost-benefit analysis was done to identify the best option. Finally, establishment of a patient counselling service with a nurse has been recommended.
