Relocating to Bangladesh for higher education signifies the beginning of an exciting educational journey and experience. Dhaka is a very busy city; it is full of energy and has a rich cultural heritage. Additionally, Dhaka is an extremely busy urban environment that presents many public health issues. Bangladesh does not operate a national public health program for non-citizens. Therefore if a student studying abroad becomes ill there are limited options available to them. Private health care systems in Dhaka have excellent clinical services but require a confirmed source of income to be able to admit patients into their facilities. A bank draft for all expected charges is required from the patient prior to initiation of treatment or the institution must confirm they will directly bill the patient's insurance carrier.

Second, it must provide emergency assistance including evacuating you from a local hospital to a medical facility in your home country if needed.
