Ask around in Pirojpur town about the district hospital, and you'll likely hear two different numbers thrown out: "100-bed" and "250-bed." Both are technically true, just for different parts of the same story. Pirojpur District Hospital, also called Pirojpur Sadar Hospital, sits under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), and its recent history is really the story of a nine-story building that got built faster than it got put to use.
Work on the new building started back in August 2018, with an 18-month timeline that quietly evaporated once COVID hit. A ninth floor was tacked on later using World Bank funding. By January 2025, according to The Daily Star, construction was actually finished - all nine floors standing - yet the building sat empty because four lifts still hadn't gone in. The Public Works Department was reportedly still waiting on health ministry sign-off to import the lifts from Europe, with nobody willing to name a completion date. The same report flagged rusting from substandard building materials, which is its own separate concern beyond just the missing lifts. Meanwhile, the hospital kept running exactly as it had for years before: as a 100-bed facility, packed well beyond that capacity, in its old buildings.
Then, in March 2025, something shifted. The State Minister for Housing and Public Works, Ahammad Sohel Monzoor, told hospital management to stop waiting on the lifts entirely and just open four floors - patients could walk or use stairs in the meantime. The target window given was 30 April to 15 May 2025. We looked for follow-up confirming whether that actually happened and came up empty, so treat it as an announced plan rather than a settled fact. If admitting a patient here matters to you, a phone call to check current floor and bed availability will tell you more than anything written here.

Numbers for government hospitals shift over time, so a quick call to confirm before you rely on these is worth the minute it takes.
Founded
Operated for years as a 100-bed Sadar Hospital. Construction on its 250-bed replacement building began in 2018; as of the most detailed reporting available (January-March 2025), that building was structurally finished but not confirmed as fully in use, please verify.
Speciality
The main referral point for one of Bangladesh's less-developed southern districts. Before this upgrade saga, critical patients here typically had to be sent over an hour away to Khulna or Barishal - itself a telling detail about what the hospital was, and possibly still is, unable to handle locally.
Number of Beds
Listed at 250 on official paperwork. Functionally, reporting through early-mid 2025 describes it still running closer to its old 100-bed reality, with a partial four-floor opening announced for spring 2025 that we could not verify actually occurred. Confirm directly with the hospital before assuming either number.
Departments
No official, current department-by-department list turned up in our research. A hospital at this bed level would typically run Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Emergency at minimum, please verify what's actually staffed right now.
Popular Treatments
General outpatient care, maternity and delivery, and emergency stabilization, with more serious or critical cases historically routed onward to Khulna or Barishal rather than handled on-site.
- Outpatient (OPD) services - running
- Inpatient (IPD) admission - running, though at a capacity that has lagged well behind the "250-bed" label for years, please verify current numbers
- Emergency care - please verify current scope
- Operation Theater - please verify
- Diagnostics and pathology - please verify
- Pharmacy - please verify
- Ambulance / patient transport - historically the weak point here; transferring critical patients to Khulna or Barishal has reportedly taken over an hour and been costly for poorer families, please verify current arrangements
The hospital sits in Pirojpur Sadar, within Pirojpur town itself - not somewhere you'd need directions for once you're in the area; most rickshaw pullers and locals know it immediately.

A: Both labels are in circulation, and both are defensible depending on the timeframe. Officially it was upgraded to 250 beds, but reporting through early 2025 describes it still functioning at closer to 100-bed capacity while the new building's lifts were pending. Call ahead to find out which reality currently applies.
A: According to Daily Star reporting from January 2025, four required lifts had not been installed, and the Public Works Department was awaiting health ministry approval to import them from Europe with no set timeline.
A: A State Minister directed a partial opening (four floors, without waiting for lifts) for the window of 30 April to 15 May 2025. We could not confirm whether this happened as planned, so it's worth asking the hospital directly for its current operating floors and bed count.
A: 46162233 (land line) or 01712213033 (mobile).
A: Yes, fully government-owned, run under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
