Bangladeshi Patients Seek Help Amid Travel Disruptions
News summary

Kolkata hospitals are offering support to Bangladeshi patients facing treatment disruptions due to political unrest in Bangladesh and subsequent travel issues. With all Indian visa application centres in Bangladesh closed and direct bus services suspended, many patients are considering relocating to hospitals in Southeast Asia such as Singapore and Bangkok. Hospitals like Manipal and BP Poddar are providing discounts, accommodation, and payment deferrals to assist those who have run out of funds. Amidst these challenges, Bangladeshi patients are also contending with the devaluation of their currency, further complicating their ability to afford ongoing treatment. The number of Bangladeshi patients visiting Kolkata has drastically decreased, with reports indicating a drop from 180 daily patients to just 84 recently. As the situation evolves, many are left in a predicament regarding their treatment and timely return home.
