Telehealth in Bangladesh: Teleradiology's Vital Contribution


Care focused in urban areas:
Public hospitals treat most medical conditions but tertiary care is available only in urban areas. Thus, specialized health care is restricted to urban areas and isn’t easily accessible to rural communities accounting for 60% of population in Bangladesh.

As per the Center for Research and Information (CRI) in Dhaka the country has 600 hospitals. Most private clinics and hospitals are concentrated in urban areas. The Apollo Hospital complex in Dhaka has broad range of health care facilities. It happens to be the only hospital in Bangladesh to receive an accreditation from Joint Commission International (JCI).

Some NGOs run hospitals and are situated outside the main urban areas. They are private not-for-profits hospitals. For example, Kumudini Hospital in Mirzapur and the Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP) near Chandpur.

Thus, most health care facilities are concentrated in urban areas or satellite towns near cities like Rajshahi. Thus, the rural hospitals don’t have adequate facilities to extend health care services to their patients. Radiology services especially sub-specialists might be rarely available in rural areas.

Radiologists in urban areas might get overburdened over the years. This challenge can be resolved through teleradiology services available in countries like India where the services are quick and specialized.
