Under the circumstances, assessment of the country’s quality of health care service has become imperative, in which the patient’s voice must begin to play a greater role. This study attempts to identify the determinants of patient satisfaction with public, private and foreign hospitals. A survey was conducted involving inpatients in public and private hospitals in Dhaka City and patients who have experienced hospital services in a foreign country. Their views were obtained through exit polls using probability and non-probability (for foreign hospital patients) sampling procedures. Regression models were derived to identify key factors influencing patient satisfaction in the different types of hospitals. Doctors’ service orientation, a composite of 13 measures, is the most important factor explaining patient satisfaction. Policy implications are discussed.
