Health Aid Diagnostic and Hospital Limited

By the Buddhist monastery in Basabo

If you know the Dharmarajika Buddhist Monastery in Basabo, you are almost there. Health Aid Diagnostic and Hospital Limited stands at 26, Atish Dipankar Road, Sabujbag, Basabo, Dhaka-1214, a short walk from the monastery gate. Local people often shorten the name to Health Aid Hospital. Tenants in the same building even write Health Aid Hospital Building in their address. Families from Basabo use it for everyday care. Patients also come from Sabujbag, Mugda, Khilgaon and Kamalapur. It is a neighbourhood hospital and diagnostic centre, not a big referral hospital. For a wider choice, see doctors in Dhaka on DoctorBD24.

Evening chambers, many subjects

Most consultant sittings here are in the evening. A newborn and child specialist sits at this chamber, and parents from the area know the place through that sitting. Medicine and chest consultants see patients here too. Doctor directories also list cardiology, gynaecology and ENT chambers at this hospital. Colorectal surgery consultants sit here for bowel and anal problems. A dietitian holds an evening chamber on some weekdays for food and nutrition advice. Who sits on which day changes over time. Ring 01978804888 before you set out and ask for the day's list.

Tests under the same roof

The word Diagnostic in the name is the other half of the work. Patients come here for tests linked to their treatment, then take the reports back to the consultant upstairs. Government records list this facility as a private hospital and clinic in Sabujbag. So it is not only a testing point. A doctor can keep a patient in for treatment when the problem needs it. Ask at the desk, or phone ahead, about the test you need and what it costs today.

Before you leave home

Phone first. The appointment number is 01978804888. Ask who is sitting that evening, when your serial may come, and what the consultation fee is. Bring earlier prescriptions and test reports with you. Old reports often save you from repeating a test. If the visit is for a child, bring the vaccination card if you have one. Write your main problems down before you go, so nothing gets missed in a short sitting.
