What are medical services in Dhaka like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Dhaka, they replied...
"Medical services in Dhaka, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is often overcrowded and under-resourced, leading to long waiting times and limited access to specialized care. Private hospitals and clinics offer better quality care, but they can be expensive and may not be accessible to everyone. There is a shortage of qualified medical professionals, which can result in inadequate treatment and misdiagnoses. Additionally, the city faces challenges in maintaining proper sanitation and hygiene, which can contribute to the spread of diseases. Despite these issues, there are ongoing efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and services in Dhaka," remarked another expat who made the move to Dhaka, Bangladesh.
