Taking exception to doctors' sloppy handwriting, a top Bangladeshi court has ordered them to write easy-to-read prescriptions in block letters or type them to prevent wrong medicines being issued to patients.<br/><br/>The High Court asked the government to issue a circular in this regard among the country's doctors within 30 days.<br/><br/>The health secretary and Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council's registrar will have to carry out the order. They will also have to inform the court about their progress within<br/>six weeks.<br/><br/>The court yesterday also issued a ruling asking as to why the doctors should not be directed to mention generic names of medicines in prescriptions.<br/><br/>A bench comprising Justice Naima Haider and Justice Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman issued the order after holding a primary hearing over a writ petition.
