Using twenty-four scale items, patient perceptions were sought on five aspects of service quality including responsiveness, assurance, communication, discipline and baksheesh. Because private hospitals are not subsidized, it was felt that the incentive structure would induce them to provide better services than public hospitals on the measures of service quality. This contention was largely supported. The results also indicated that both groups have room for improvement. Published 2016-06-22T12:31:33Z 2016-06-22T12:31:33Z 2000 Article Andaleeb, S. S. (2000).
