Shaheed Sheikh Abu Naser Specialized Hospital

Overview

Shaheed Sheikh Abu Naser Specialized Hospital is a government-run tertiary hospital with 250 beds in Khulna Sadar. It functions as a referral centre for the southwestern districts, receiving patients whose conditions need advanced specialist assessment. Many arrivals have already attended a smaller facility before transfer. A Ministry of Health and Family Welfare circular dated 3 November 2024 renamed the institution Khulna Specialized Hospital, and both names remain in everyday use.

As a public facility, the hospital provides outpatient consultations through its serial and ticket system. Admission charges follow government rates, which keeps referred specialist treatment accessible to families across the division.

Services and departments

Cardiology manages heart conditions requiring specialist review and close monitoring. Nephrology provides kidney care, including dialysis support for patients under that department. Urology treats urinary system problems and related surgical conditions. Neurology covers diseases of the brain and nerves, while neurosurgery assesses cases where an operation on the brain or spine is under consideration.

General surgery covers a broad range of operations, including laparoscopic and colorectal procedures. Orthopedics treats fractures, joint problems, trauma injuries and spine conditions. The burn, plastic and reconstructive surgery service cares for burn injuries and tissue repair. Gynecology and obstetrics provide women's health, pregnancy and childbirth care, supported by anesthesiology for operations and critical care.

Diagnostic services

X-ray, ECG and ultrasonography are available to support the clinical departments during assessment. These investigations help teams examine heart, bone and internal problems before deciding on treatment. Physical medicine and rehabilitation is also provided for patients recovering strength and movement after illness or injury.

Emergency care

The hospital maintains emergency services for urgent cases arriving from Khulna and surrounding districts. An intensive care unit provides constant observation for very ill patients. A separate coronary care unit supports patients with serious heart conditions. A central piped oxygen supply, backed by a liquid oxygen plant, supports these critical care areas, and a helipad inside the compound supports urgent transfers.

Specialist consultations

Outpatient consultations are arranged through hospital serials or tickets for the relevant department. Patients should bring any referral note, prescriptions and earlier investigation reports to the consultation. Those papers help the receiving team understand previous treatment without repeating assessments unnecessarily. Department rosters can change, so the schedule for a particular clinic should be checked on arrival.

The site is in the Khalishpur area of Khulna city and also contains a mosque within the grounds.
