Best Hematologist (Blood Specialist) in Dhaka & Bangladesh

About hematologists in Bangladesh

A hematologist treats diseases of the blood and bone marrow, including anaemia, bleeding disorders and blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma. Thalassaemia is common in Bangladesh, and many families need long-term care from a hematologist.

Hematologists in Bangladesh usually hold an MD or FCPS in Haematology. Carrier testing for thalassaemia (Hb electrophoresis) before marriage or pregnancy helps couples understand the risk of having a child with thalassaemia major.

How to choose the right hematologist

Qualifications: Hematologists in Bangladesh usually hold MD (Haematology), FCPS (Haematology). Each doctor's degrees are shown on their profile above.

Registration: every MBBS and BDS doctor must be registered with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). You can check a doctor's registration number on the BMDC website.

Hospital and chamber: a hematologist attached to a medical college or large hospital has easy access to tests and admission if you need them. For regular follow-up, a chamber close to home with convenient visiting hours often matters just as much.

Experience with your problem: many specialists have a special interest within their field. Read the designation and degrees on each profile, and ask at the first visit how often the doctor treats your condition.
