How to Pay for Ambulance Service in Bangladesh
Government ambulances through the 999 system are normally free for emergency response. The charges for private ambulances are based on the distance and the type of ambulance (basic or ICU).
We accept the following payment methods:
•Most private services require cash on arrival or before departure
•bKash – many private ambulance providers accept bKash payments now, check when booking
•Nagad — increasingly accepted by newer private services in Dhaka and Chattogram Hospital billing — some hospital-run ambulances bill directly to your patient account
There is no government subsidy scheme for ambulance payments, although the 999 system provides a free service and a public safety net. Be careful about your daily limit while paying for expensive ICU ambulances, as Bangladesh Bank regulations require licensed mobile financial service providers like bKash and Nagad to clearly display transaction limits.
