Customer Ratings and Reviews

Senior doctors are good enough. Environment is average. The receptionists lack manner. But, they take good care of patients. I had to stay here for five days with my family patient. We took a deluxe cabin. My experience was good. Nurses come frequently to check out patients saline, medicines and other emergencies, nutritionists visit once in morning and duty doctors visit twice a day, patients meals and snacks come five times a day, their food is really tasty and healthy, cleaners and housekeepers come time to time. Hospital charge is a little bit high.

Nightmare at Popular Hospital Brutally commercial cages for patients. 75% rooms do not have a window. 25% rooms have window but not allowed to open. Poor ventilation with central AC. No access to fresh air. Extremely poor quality blankets. Patients are not allowed to bring their own blankets. Every single blood sugar test needle and strip costs approximately 30 taka, and patients not allowed to make their own tests. Patients are not allowed to have their own food. The only food allowed is whats available in the cafeteria, which is another source of profit. The cafeteria is open from 8am-10pm. Even the reusable thermometer is sold to the patients even if they do not need it. Patients are not allowed to have their own medicines and forced to take medicines made by Popular even though better medicines are available in every pharmacy. Good doctors prescribed good well renowned medicines but those are then changed within 2 hours to Popular branded medicine which require often an extra solvant for 50taka. There is security control in almost every door. Security is tighter than Bangladesh Bank. Patient attendants are harassed by security on a regular basis. During the day there is random security checks in all cabins on the number of attendants, food that is being ate, and unknown number of things. Ward boys, helpers and nurses are paid only 6000taka salary. They do not have any sitting or resting arrangements and lies on the floor on a piece of paper. They do deliver a very good service because the supervisor comes 5 to 6 times a day to the patients to ask if they have any complaints against helpers or nurses. Popular hospital has a fixed target quote for every cabin and uses ever possible measures to maximise profits from dying patients. These measures ranges from food, blanket, space, medicines, furnitures, lighting, ventilation, water... During admission the cash counter commented that the "cabins cannot stay empty, it must be filled to 100% with a waiting list" A commerce made out of people's health and desperation. The worst management in a horrible hospital!!! Amazing how profitable a hospital can be made by Dr. Mustafizur Rahman with just a MBBS and a talented business mind. Wonder if these management people also have a family, or loved ones? Do they also get sick?

Most commercial hospital I have ever seen, they demanded 1000 taka for birth certificate. Their sofas are filled with charpoka or bad smell. I felt embarrassing with one of my donar.They excluded patient meal charge,nurse charge and sone other charge from cabin fare. Their food amount is not so much but demanded 2000 taka for meal charge per day. People should avoid this type of commercial hospital.
