Abstract
Access to high-quality healthcare is a fundamental human right that is denied to a substantial section of the people in Bangladesh. The lack of a suitable and sufficient healthcare system has significant implications for the nation's many socioeconomic groups. This study carefully examines several facets of non-governmental healthcare establishments in Bangladesh, including ownership con-figurations, their development paths over time, workforce distribution, waste management strategies, and fire safety protocols. This study also explores a few of these institutions financial aspects. A thorough dataset was gathered from the 2019 Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) survey of private healthcare facilities to meet the study's analytical goals. The results show that the private healthcare industry grew significantly between 1990 and 2018, with private ownership predominating among the institutions. Full-time employees make up a substantial share of the workforce distribution. Remarkably, around 80% of private hospitals follow protocols for fire safety and waste management. Moreover, of all the private healthcare organizations, hospitals are the main sources of income. The study's analytical findings provide policymakers with crucial information to create informed evaluations of many aspects of non-governmental healthcare organizations in Bangladesh. These insights can be used as a basis for carrying out wise judgments that deal with the highlighted aspects and advance the nation's healthcare system.
