Shariatpur District Hospital (Shariatpur General Hospital)

About Hospital

Shariatpur District Hospital, also referred to as Shariatpur Sadar Hospital or Shariatpur General Hospital, is the main government hospital of Shariatpur district, located at Palong Bazar - Nirala Road, Shariatpur Sadar. It operates under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Bangladesh, and serves as the primary referral center for the district's advanced medical care, including emergency services and inpatient treatment.

The hospital was established in 1984, coinciding with the year Shariatpur (formerly known as Palong Thana) was officially upgraded to a district. It historically operated with 100 beds and is currently undergoing infrastructural upgrades to expand its capacity to 250 beds - please verify the current fully operational bed count, since such upgrades can take time to complete on the ground. The hospital works alongside six upazila health complexes across the district (Bhedarganj, Damudya, Gosairhat, Naria, Shariatpur Sadar, and Zanjira), each typically a smaller 31-bed facility, with this district hospital handling more advanced cases referred from those smaller units.
