10 points to compare
- 01
Responsible doctor
Confirm who is clinically responsible, their current chamber or admitting arrangement, and how follow-up communication works.
- 02
Right level of care
Ask whether the facility can safely handle the patient’s present need or whether a higher-level hospital or emergency service is more appropriate.
- 03
Current admission availability
A website cannot show real-time beds unless the facility operates a live system. Call for today’s position and the admission path.
- 04
Diagnostics needed for the plan
Confirm that the exact lab or imaging service is available when the clinician needs it; do not assume every listed category is available at all hours.
- 05
OT and procedure arrangements
For surgery, confirm the surgeon, procedure, anaesthesia, required tests, team, date and escalation plan.
- 06
Nursing and pharmacy support
Ask what support is available for admitted patients and which medicine or surgical items relatives may need to obtain.
- 07
Cabin facts
Compare the suitable room type, included facilities, attendant rules, visiting times, vacancy, deposit and daily charge.
- 08
Emergency boundaries
Know whether the facility offers the emergency capability the patient may need. For life-threatening danger in Bangladesh, call 999.
- 09
Location and accessibility
Use the real map, landmark and entrance. Consider transport, stairs, wheelchair access and the needs of older patients or children.
- 10
Complete communication and cost
Ask for the current consultation, admission, procedure, room, medicine and test costs that apply to the plan, plus who to call if the plan changes.
