The satisfaction levels were noted on the questionnaire sheet as very good, good, fair, bad, and no answer according to the questionnaire and areas for assessment. Simple frequencies and percentages of all variables were used to find the relationship between dependent and independent variables. All necessary procedures regarding ethical issues were followed as laid down by the World Medical Association (WMA). Results: Among 117 inpatients/respondents, the majority of them i.e. 65 (55.5%) were in the age group of 21-40 years, 72 (61.5%) were males and 45 (38.5%) were females.

Status of patient satisfaction on (1) The admission process was about 90.6%-91.5%; (2) Cleanliness varied from 87.2%-90.6%; (3) Quality, quantity, and taste of food and drink ranged from 51.3%-89.5%. Quality of some foods was com-promised as satisfaction level dropped to 24.7%-26.5%; (4) Nurse/Nursing services and their approach to inpatients varied from 75.2%-91.5% with good behavior and cooperation from nurses; (5) Cooperation and behavior of PCA also varied from 91.5%-93.2%; (6) Doctor/Clinician related information was excellent as inpatients satisfaction level varied from 93.2%-97.4% for varies components such as visiting by doctor every day (97.4%), seen by the specialized doctor (93.2%) quick response during patients need (96.6%), answering to queries quickly (94.0%) and approach by clinicians (95.7%); (7) Very high percentage (97.4%) of inpatients were satisfied with the release process from hospital after treatment; (8) Finally, a large number of inpatients/respondents made comments and suggestion about overall management at Impulse Hospital with expressions as very good (31/117, 26.5%), good (67/117, 57.2%), fair (2/117, 1.7%), bad (4/117, 3.4%) and NA (13/117, 11.2%). Conclusion: Impulse Hospital has almost all the required facilities relevant to providing high-quality healthcare services in all sub-specialties of Medicine, Surgery, Obstructive & Gynaecology and Paediatrics, etc. However, more improvements are definitely needed in some areas of healthcare services such as food supply, cleanliness, and overall management of the hospital. Further studies should be conducted including more respondents and hospitals in Dhaka city with the aim of overcoming the deficiencies in the present study.
