Internal Medicine Specialists in Dhaka & Bangladesh

About internal medicine specialists in Bangladesh

Internal medicine specialists (internists) are physicians trained to diagnose and manage the full range of adult diseases. They are especially valuable when a patient has several conditions at once, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease, and needs one doctor to coordinate care.

In Bangladesh, internal medicine doctors usually hold an MD (Internal Medicine) from Bangladesh Medical University (formerly BSMMU) or another postgraduate institute, or an FCPS (Medicine). Many work at medical college hospitals and see patients in private chambers in the evening.
