Welcome to DoctorBangladesh.com. Our primary objective is to build the most reliable, comprehensive, and transparent healthcare directory in Bangladesh. To earn and maintain the trust of patients, healthcare consumers, and medical professionals, we adhere to a strict set of editorial and data verification standards detailed below.
1. Content Creation & Expert Review Process
To ensure the highest standard of medical accuracy, our content goes through a strict multi-step pipeline:
-
- Research & Drafting: Content is compiled by qualified medical writers or researchers using authoritative sources (e.g., WHO, DGHS Bangladesh, peer-reviewed medical journals).
- Medical Review (The “Medical Review Board”): Before publication, informational articles, health guides, and deep-dives are reviewed by licensed medical professionals (BMDC registered doctors or specialists).
- Fact-Checking: Every statistics, drug dosage, or treatment protocol mentioned must be cross-checked against standard medical textbooks or government health directives.
2. Sourcing and Citations
We do not rely on rumors or unverified health claims. Our content relies strictly on:
- Official guidelines from the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Bangladesh.
- Global health authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC.
- Peer-reviewed studies from recognized medical journals (e.g., The Lancet, PubMed).
- Policy Rule: Where applicable, we explicitly cite or link to the primary source at the bottom of the article.
3. Core Principles & Directory Integrity
Unlike standard web directories that scrape outdated public data, DoctorBangladesh.com relies on authentic, practitioner-driven information. We prioritize data accuracy, timeliness, and user utility above all else to ensure patients can make informed decisions when seeking medical care.
4. Profile Submission & Verification Process
To maximize the credibility of our platform, we maintain a controlled onboarding ecosystem:
- Doctor-Submitted Profiles: Every medical practitioner profile listed on our directory is directly submitted by the respective doctor, their designated medical assistant, or an authorized representative of their chamber/hospital. Every medical practitioner profile listed on our directory is initiated through the submission of complete details via our Join Page.
- Credential Verification: During the submission process, practitioners are required to provide their official credentials, academic qualifications, clinical specializations, and their professional registration details (such as the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council – BMDC number). Our internal team reviews these entries before the profile goes live.
5. Proactive Data Maintenance & Updates
Medical practices are highly dynamic. Chamber locations, consultation fees, and visiting hours change frequently. To prevent outdated information, DoctorBangladesh.com operates a dedicated data maintenance cycle:
- Routine Outreach: Our operations team systematically and regularly contacts the listed doctors and their management offices via telephone, email, or verified messaging channels to cross-check and update practice details.
- Practitioner-Driven Updates: Registered medical professionals retain a direct channel to communicate immediate changes to their service hours, visiting status, or consultation fees between our scheduled outreach intervals.
6. Community Reporting & Error Resolution
We actively encourage accountability and community collaboration. If a patient, visitor, or medical professional notices a discrepancy regarding a doctor’s chamber timing, address, contact number, or fee structure:
- Updates can be sent directly to our data validation team via Email, WhatsApp, our Website Contact Form, or a message to our official Facebook Page.
- Our backend team investigates every report by reaching out directly to the medical professional’s office, validating the new details, and applying necessary updates within 48 to 72 business hours.
7. Advertising, Sponsorship, and Independence
To sustain our platform, we display advertisements and institutional listings. However, we maintain a strict boundary between commercial operations and directory neutrality:
- All sponsored listings or advertising banners are transparently and clearly demarcated as “Ad” or “Sponsored.”
- Commercial sponsorship exerts zero influence over our profile verification protocols, search order priority algorithms, or general health information layout. We do not endorse specific medical products, commercial brands, or prescription medications.
Medical Disclaimer: The directory listings and informational content provided on DoctorBangladesh.com are intended strictly for general informational purposes. A listing on this site does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or professional medical advice. Users must always seek the guidance of a qualified physician or licensed healthcare provider regarding any health condition or treatment adjustments.
