flag Bangladesh loses $5B yearly to medical tourism due to poor care, high costs, and weak system; reforms needed for sustainable growth.

flag Bangladesh loses about $5 billion yearly as patients seek treatment abroad due to distrust in local care, poor diagnostics, high costs, and counterfeit medicines. flag India is the top destination, followed by Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. flag Low government spending (under 1% of GDP), 73–74% out-of-pocket costs, minimal insurance coverage (2.5%), and shortages of specialists and advanced equipment worsen the crisis. flag The healthcare market is projected to grow from $14 billion in 2025 to $23 billion by 2033, but experts urge reforms including public-private partnerships, better regulation, expanded insurance, digital health, and improved primary care to restore trust and ensure sustainable growth.
