As a foreigner living in Dhaka, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Dhaka if they have access to public healthcare in Dhaka. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Dhaka, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you are accustomed to. Public healthcare facilities in Dhaka are often overcrowded, understaffed, and may lack necessary equipment and medications. It is common for locals and foreigners alike to seek private healthcare services, which tend to offer better quality care, albeit at a higher cost. It is recommended that you obtain comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses during your stay in Dhaka," remarked another expat who made the move to Dhaka, Bangladesh.
