Health & Emergencies
Bangladesh has a limited healthcare system with basic-quality public hospitals. Tourists must purchase international health insurance and avoid public hospitals.
The public system offers basic care but with severe infrastructure and resource limitations.
Private hospitals in Dhaka (Apollo, Square) offer a higher standard and modern equipment.
