How can doctors and patients regain trust?

I am a foreign medical doctor, teaching in a medical school and its affiliated hospitals for 5 years till now. The root cause of mistrust followed by violence is lack of professionalism among healthcare providers, with the next important reason being failed business-oriented healthcare system compounded by corruption at various levels of healthcare delivery. Stop playing blame games. Police cannot stop violence.
