Medical travel from Bangladesh
Medical treatment abroad, planned from Dhaka
Bangladeshi patients travel abroad most often for cardiac, cancer, kidney and orthopaedic care. We compare hospitals on accreditation, publish itemised all-in costs, and stay with you from the first report to the follow-up at home. We are not doctors — we put you in direct contact with the consultant who will treat you.

Which condition are you being treated for?
Most patients arrive already knowing their diagnosis — a doctor at home has said the procedure is needed, or local treatment has not worked.
Choosing the condition is the fastest route to the right hospitals, a realistic cost, and what the visa will require.
Bypass, valve replacement, angioplasty — the largest single reason Bangladeshis travel

Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, second opinion — often the hardest to arrange quickly

Only two of these carry a figure. These are private hospital package ranges, not published prices, converted at ৳123.0 to the dollar, checked 18 October 2026. The other four will publish a band once three hospital quotes per procedure are in hand — we would rather show nothing than a number we cannot source. How we verify →
The real number
What does treatment abroad actually cost?
Mean spend per trip, all procedures
৳2,50,000
≈ US$2,025
University of Dhaka survey of outbound patients, n=200. Measured actual spend, not a benchmark.
The number that matters is not the surgeon's fee. It is treatment plus hospital stay, one attendant's lodging, two return flights from Dhaka, the medical visa and local transport — added together. Most families are quoted the first figure and discover the rest abroad, which is how a ৳9 lakh plan becomes a ৳14 lakh problem.
Coronary bypassPrivate hospital package range, India — an editorial estimate, not a hospital quote

No published package price for this procedure at this destination.
Knee replacementPrivate hospital package range, single joint, India — an editorial estimate
quoted per case
No published package price for this procedure at this destination.
Against a household income of ৳20,000–50,000 a month, the mean spend is five to twelve months of earnings — usually pooled across relatives and often borrowed. That is why we publish ranges rather than a single figure, and why the hospital's written estimate matters more than any number on this page.
Where patients actually go
India takes the largest share
The reasons are practical rather than clinical: a land border at Benapole, flights of one to three hours, and Bengali-speaking staff in most large hospitals. Thailand and Singapore cost more and are chosen for specific capability, not convenience.
Share of outbound patients — University of Dhaka, n=200
Bar length is proportional to share
Turkey is also in our directory but does not appear in the n=200 sample, so we do not show a share for it. Visa rules, attendant allowances and accreditation differ by country, so each destination page carries its own dated status rather than a generic claim.
The process
What happens after you send reports
The sequence is short because most of the work happens before you commit to anything. You do not pay us to begin, and you are not asked for your name until a hospital needs it for a visa invitation letter.
01
Send what you have
Any report helps — a scan, a lab result, a discharge note, even a photograph of a prescription. Bengali, English or Hindi. No account, no name required.
02
We read and match
A coordinator reviews the documents, then matches your case to two or three accredited hospitals and names the consultants who actually perform the procedure.
03
You see written costs
An itemised range in BDT and USD — treatment, stay, attendant, flights, visa. Yours to keep as a PDF, and to take to the relatives who are helping pay.
04
Visa, arrival, follow-up
We prepare the visa pack including the hospital's invitation letter, arrange pickup and an interpreter, and stay reachable once you are home.
Editorial standard
How a hospital earns a place on this site
Accreditation is checked first, and checked against the accrediting body rather than the hospital's own marketing — JCI and NABH both publish their lists. A hospital that claims accreditation it does not hold is removed.
Second is documented procedure volume for the treatment in question. A hospital that performs four bypasses a month is not the same proposition as one performing forty, and the difference matters more than star ratings.
Third is international patient service: whether Bengali-speaking staff are on site rather than promised, how the international desk handles an arrival at two in the morning, and whether the written estimate they issue is honoured at discharge.
That last point is the one families ask about after they return, and it is the one most sites never mention.

We are not doctors and we do not give medical advice. We read what you send, match you to accredited hospitals and named consultants, and put you in direct contact with them. Every clinical decision belongs to the doctor treating you. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a recommendation for treatment, or a quotation. If you need urgent medical help, contact a hospital in Bangladesh now rather than waiting for a reply from us.
Verification checklist
- 01 · Accreditation Checked against the accrediting body rather than the hospital’s own marketing — JCI and NABH both publish their lists.
- 02 · Procedure volume Documented procedure volume for the treatment in question — four bypasses a month is not the same proposition as forty.
- 03 · International patient service Bengali-speaking staff on site rather than promised, and whether the written estimate is honoured at discharge.
Every figure on this site carries a source, a date and a unit. When we get one wrong, we publish the correction.
Privacy
Some conditions you would rather not announce
Fertility treatment, a cancer diagnosis, a psychiatric referral — in a shared household these are not things a patient wants sitting in a browser history or appearing on a phone that someone else picks up.
So the private route exists, and it is not a setting buried in a menu. It starts at its own address, asks for nothing, and never becomes a record in a marketing system.
Stored

Not stored
Your name, email or phone number. No analytics, no cookies, no session recording.
Who can see it
Anyone with your code can read your replies — including someone using this phone. We cannot recover a lost code.
Deleted
Reports deleted after 72 hours if you do not return, otherwise within 90 days.
Patient experience
What we will and will not publish
Every story is published with the condition, the destination, the year and the hospital named — because an unattributed testimonial proves nothing. We do not edit out the parts where something went wrong.
No patient story is published yet.
Written consent
A story is published only with the patient’s signed consent, and they may withdraw it at any time.
01
Named and dated
Every story carries the hospital, the procedure and the month; we do not publish unattributed quotes.
02
No outcome claims
We never publish “cured” or survival figures; we publish what was arranged and what it cost.
