Pediatricians in Bangladesh — Find & Book

A Pediatrician (child specialist) is a doctor who looks after the health of newborns, babies, children and adolescents up to about 18 years. In Bangladesh, parents most often bring children to a Pediatrician for fever, cough and cold, pneumonia and breathing difficulty, diarrhoea and dehydration, typhoid, dengue, asthma, worm infestation, skin rashes, poor weight gain and feeding or growth concerns. Pediatricians also give and advise on the EPI vaccination schedule and manage newborn problems such as jaundice and low birth weight. In a typical consultation the doctor asks about the child's symptoms, feeding, birth history and immunisation, checks weight, height, temperature and chest, and examines the child gently. They may order simple tests like a blood count, CBC, widal or chest X-ray, then explain the diagnosis and write a prescription with correct weight-based doses. You should see a Pediatrician whenever a child has a high or persistent fever, fast or difficult breathing, repeated vomiting or diarrhoea, fits, refusal to feed, or is not growing or developing as expected, and for routine vaccination and growth check-ups.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Pediatrician cost in your area?

In your area, a Pediatrician's consultation fee usually ranges from about 500 to 1,000 BDT for a new patient. Senior consultants and professors at large private hospitals may charge 1,000 to 1,500 BDT, while follow-up visits within 1-2 weeks are often half-price or free. Government hospitals and many child clinics charge much less. Vaccines, tests and medicines are billed separately.

How do I book a Pediatrician in your area and what should I bring?

You can book through ChamberBD by choosing a Pediatrician in your area and picking a chamber time slot, or by calling the chamber directly; many also keep a serial system. Bring the child's vaccination (EPI) card, any previous prescriptions and test reports, a list of current medicines, and note how long symptoms have lasted. For babies, knowing recent weight and feeding details helps the doctor a lot.

Who is the best Pediatrician in your area?

The best Pediatrician in your area is the one whose qualifications, hospital affiliation and chamber timing suit your child's needs and who communicates clearly with parents. Look for an MBBS doctor with postgraduate training in child health such as DCH, FCPS (Paediatrics) or MD (Paediatrics), check patient reviews and experience, and confirm the chamber is convenient for follow-up. ChamberBD lists each Pediatrician's degrees, chambers and fees so you can compare.

Can I consult a Pediatrician online or by telemedicine in your area?

Yes. Many Pediatricians in your area now offer online video or phone consultations, which work well for follow-ups, mild fever or cough, feeding and growth advice, and reviewing test reports. Online fees are often similar to or slightly lower than chamber fees. However, a newborn, a child with high fever, fast breathing, severe dehydration, fits or who looks very unwell should be examined in person without delay.
