Which hospitals can I book through bookingMentor?

At present every listed hospital is in Dhaka, from the large private hospitals in Bashundhara, Panthapath and Dhanmondi to the government institutes around Shahbagh. A selection is shown in the hospital cards at the top of this page, and the full list is in the hospital search.

Can I book a particular doctor?

Consultant profiles are being added hospital by hospital. Where a profile exists, such as Prof. Dr. Md. Faruque Pathan, Senior Consultant in Endocrinology & Diabetes at BIRDEM, you can see his chambers, timings and next free slot and book directly. At other hospitals, name the specialty in your request and the hospital assigns the consultant.

Can I ask a hospital a question before I book?

Yes. Use "Send an enquiry" on the hospital's page and the hospital replies by email or phone. You can also post a question under "Ask a question" so the answer appears on the page for other patients.

How does an appointment request work?

Open the hospital's page and fill in "Book an appointment": Choose new patient, follow-up or video call; Pick the department, and the consultant if one is listed; Choose a date and an available slot; Add the patient's name, mobile number and email, then press "Confirm appointment". The hospital then confirms the consultant and the time.

Can I have a video consultation before I travel?

Yes, where the hospital or doctor offers it. Choose "Video call" as the patient type on the appointment form. Some hospitals also run their own online consultation portals, and Prof. Dr. Md. Faruque Pathan holds video consultations every day from 9 to 10 PM for report reviews and dose changes.

What should I bring to the appointment?

Bring a photo ID (a passport if you are coming from abroad), your previous prescriptions and discharge summaries, your current medicines or a written list, and recent test reports or scans. Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to register at the front desk.

I am coming from abroad for treatment. What else should I plan?

Check if you need a Bangladesh visa before you fly; the visa section explains what is required. Most patients arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, and you can book a hotel in Dhaka near the hospital and a car with a driver for the airport run. Some of the larger private hospitals have a desk for international patients.

Do I pay anything to book an appointment?

No. Holding a slot through bookingMentor is free. Consultation, test and admission charges are set by the hospital and paid at its counter, so ask for the current fee when the hospital confirms and keep every receipt.

How much does a consultation cost in Dhaka?

Fees vary by hospital and consultant. Where a doctor's profile lists them, they are shown in taka; Prof. Dr. Md. Faruque Pathan's profile, for example, lists ৳1,500 for a consultation, ৳900 for a follow-up and ৳800 for a video call. For other hospitals, ask the helpline on the hospital's page before you travel.

Do bookingMentor discount codes work on appointments?

No. Codes apply at checkout when you book a stay or a trip. Appointments are free to request, and the hospital charges its own fees at the counter.

Which hospitals specialise in heart, eye or children's care?

Heart: National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute, LABAID Cardiac Hospital, Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute, Bangladesh Heart & Chest Hospital; Eye: Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital, BNSB Dhaka Eye Hospital; Children: Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Institute of Child Health and Shishu Hospital; Kidney: Dhaka Renal Centre & General Hospital, The Kidney Hospital and Dialysis Centre; Bones and joints: Bari-Ilizarov Orthopaedic Centre.

What should I do in a medical emergency?

Go straight to a hospital emergency department; no appointment is needed. In Dhaka you can call 999 for police, fire and ambulance.

Finding the Right Hospital in Dhaka

In short

bookingMentor is a guide to medical tourism, connecting you with top-rated hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers around the world, including in Thailand, India, Malaysia, Turkey, Dubai, Singapore and Spain. In Dhaka it lists 59 hospitals, grouped by medical specialty. A third of them sit in one corridor around Dhanmondi, Green Road and Panthapath. If you are travelling to Dhaka for treatment from elsewhere in Bangladesh, most domestic flights take under an hour.

From elective procedures and specialised treatments to wellness and rehabilitation programmes, the medical tourism pages bring together guidance on hospitals, patient reviews, treatment packages and travel logistics, so you can plan treatment abroad safely and at an affordable price. The rest of this guide looks closely at Dhaka, where most visitors from Bangladesh start.

Where the hospitals are in Dhaka

Choosing a hospital in Dhaka is partly a question of geography, because a trip across the city can easily take an hour at busy times. The listed hospitals fall into a handful of clusters.

Area	Examples
Dhanmondi, Green Road and Panthapath	LABAID Cardiac Hospital, Bari-Ilizarov Orthopaedic Centre
Mirpur, Shyamoli and Mohammadpur	National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute, BNSB Dhaka Eye Hospital, Institute of Child Health and Shishu Hospital
Farmgate, Tejgaon and Mohakhali	Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital, Universal Medical College & Hospital
Shahbagh and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar	Bangladesh Medical University, Dhaka Medical College and Hospital
Uttara, Khilkhet and Bashundhara	Aichi Hospital Ltd., China-Bangla Hospital
Gulshan	Continental Hospital PLC, Mukti Hospital

Others are in older parts of the city: Motijheel, Gandaria, Sutrapur and Golapbag. Hospitals in the north, around Bashundhara and Uttara, are the closest to the airport, which helps when you fly in and out for a single appointment.

Matching a specialty to a hospital

Each specialty page lists the hospitals that have a department for it, so you can narrow the hospital list down to a few before you call. Some specialties are widely offered, others only by a few, and the specialty cards above show how many hospitals have a department for each.

A department on the list tells you the hospital treats that condition. It does not tell you which consultant is available on your dates, so ask when the hospital confirms your appointment.

Coming to Dhaka from another division

Many patients travel to Dhaka from Sylhet, Chattogram or the north for a specialist opinion or surgery. Flying saves a long road journey, which matters after a procedure. The busiest routes into Dhaka are among the trending flights above, and the route guides for the other airports list the airlines and times.

From	Flight time to Dhaka
Chattogram	About 55 minutes
Rajshahi	About 55 minutes
Jashore and Barishal	About 45 minutes

From the domestic terminal, a car with a driver can take you straight to the hospital and wait while you are seen, which is easier than finding a taxi with a patient and luggage.

Planning the days around treatment

Stay close to the hospital rather than the airport, because you may need to return for tests, results and follow-ups over several days. Of the hotels listed in Dhaka, these suit the main hospital areas:

Hotel Nandini on Mirpur Road in Dhanmondi, and Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka in Karwan Bazar, are close to the Dhanmondi, Green Road and Panthapath hospitals
Le Méridien Dhaka in Khilkhet is near the hospitals in Bashundhara, Uttara and Nikunja

Allow a spare day after a procedure before any flight home, and keep printed copies of your reports and discharge summary in your hand luggage, not your checked bag.
