Data was collected through structured questionnaire from the patients and medical staff. The result was analyzed using SPSS soft ware. Secondary data was also collected from the hospital’s private wing financial documents. Results showed that the financial benefit from the private wing service has not contributed significantly in the medical staffs’ decision not to resign, the facilities of the hospital still show very small improvement, and the patients believe they are getting reliable and equitable service. On the other hand the patients reported the administrative procedure is inefficient.
