Central Police Hospital

Overview

Central Police Hospital at Rajarbagh in Dhaka is the largest hospital of Bangladesh Police. It provides care for police members and their families only, and members of the general public are not admitted. The institution began in 1954 under its earlier name, Rajarbagh Police Hospital.

Its present name reflects a central role within hospital provision arranged for Bangladesh Police. Care on the site remains limited to the police community rather than open public admission.

Services

Verified service areas at the hospital include emergency care and outdoor consultations for eligible patients. Diagnostic tests and services form another recorded part of its clinical work. These services operate within the hospital's restricted eligibility for police personnel and their families.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital played a major role in treating affected police personnel. It also serves as a designated centre for programmes such as Hajj vaccinations.

Facilities

The hospital campus includes an intensive care unit for patients needing close monitoring and support. A separate mental health department is also listed among its verified facilities. The Police Blood Bank is located on the campus itself.

The intensive care unit, mental health department, and Police Blood Bank are distinct units on one campus. Each unit supports a defined part of the hospital's work for its eligible patient group.

Inpatient services

Its capacity rose from seventy beds to two hundred and fifty beds between 1997 and 2005. A later expansion increased the hospital to five hundred beds in total.

Admission to a ward does not extend to patients from the general public. The five hundred bed capacity is therefore reserved for the police members and families it serves.

Location and access

Central Police Hospital is located at 2 DIT Ave, Dhaka 1000, Rajarbagh, Dhaka. The campus stands beside the Rajarbagh Police Lines near Fakirapool More. That Rajarbagh setting places the hospital within its police lines neighbourhood in Dhaka.

The address combines the Rajarbagh name with the Fakirapool More area as nearby location references. Police Lines beside the campus form another fixed reference in the published address details.
