The health care in Bangladesh is very poor. There is only one doctor for every 100,000 people, but the number of sanitarium beds per,000 people is just four. It’s especially alarming that there are about 700 new tuberculosis patients every single day.

Limited by Dhaka

However, according to Dhaka Club Limited, they have come up with innovative ways to help improve the high quality of medical care and healthcare services in Bangladesh. What's the more attractive part? It's affordable too!

Bangladesh's transportation system

The need for better healthcare services and facilities is strong in Bangladesh. This is especially true when it comes to transportation to these facilities. There are many people who have serious health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and so on. And for some people, it is difficult to get to medical facilities due to a lack of transportation easily available. This leads them to delay getting treatment because they had a tight schedule that did not allow them enough time available to visit the doctor.

Travel and passports

In Bangladesh, many expatriates prefer to stay in Dhaka and grab a trip to the neighboring villages and islands, but these are not always visiting places that are conducive to health. According to an article on the website of Medical Examiner, the country has a very low rate of physicians per 1,000 population. The total medical cost of the typical citizen is between eight and 10 percent of their Gross National Income (GNI), which is disproportionately lower when compared with other developing countries.

Bangladesh's security and safety

Bangladesh is among the countries where medical treatment is mostly public or private facility without any insurance coverage system like other developed countries in Europe and America that have created several legal systems ensuring quality and safety including International Standards like International Federation or World Health Organization or International Society for Advancement in Medicine among others.

Conclusion

Bangladesh, my country of birth, is a unique country where both Islamic culture and the West coexist peacefully. It is difficult for people who were born in Bangladesh to leave it, but it is also difficult for me to stay there. I must admit that I am a bit jealous that my brother can take his wife back to his home country after he marries, while there is no way I can do the same with my partner who, like me, has German citizenship. I know that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but Germany has become a role model for its healthcare system, which may be the envy of other countries. Imagine what would happen if a few million Bangladeshi ex-pats returned to lend their professional knowledge and experience to Bangladesh’s medical industry. Health care can be so inequitably distributed as to put many lives at risk. We are convinced that every man and woman at all stages of life has a right to appropriate health care and that everyone should contribute responsibly towards this end.
