At Bangladesh Doctor Directory (BDD), our goal is to provide clear, useful, and reliable healthcare information that helps people discover doctors, specialists, hospitals, diagnostic centers, clinics, and other healthcare services across Bangladesh. This Editorial Policy explains the principles we follow when creating, reviewing, publishing, and updating content on the BDD platform.

Our Editorial Principles

Accuracy

We aim to publish information that is accurate and relevant. Where appropriate, information may be checked against official sources, publicly available records, information provided by healthcare professionals, and other credible sources. For doctor information, BDD may consider professional credentials and registration information, including information related to the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC). BM&DC is the statutory body responsible for registering doctors to practice medicine in Bangladesh.

Relevance

Our content focuses on healthcare-related information, including:

• Doctors and medical specialists
• Hospitals and clinics
• Diagnostic centers
• Healthcare services
• Doctor profiles and professional information
• Location-based healthcare information

Clarity

We aim to present information in a clear, simple, and user-friendly format so that visitors can easily understand and navigate our platform.

Originality

Content published by BDD should be original or appropriately attributed when information is obtained from external sources. We do not intentionally publish plagiarized content.

Transparency

We aim to clearly distinguish between directory information, editorial content, advertisements, sponsored content, and information provided directly by healthcare professionals or organizations.

Doctor Profile Information

Doctor profiles are an important part of Bangladesh Doctor Directory. A profile may include information such as:

• Doctor’s name
• Professional title
• Medical specialty
• Educational qualifications
• Professional designation
• Workplace or hospital affiliation
• Chamber information
• Visiting hours
• Consultation information
• Professional registration information, where applicable
• Other relevant professional details

Information may be provided directly by doctors, their representatives, healthcare organizations, or collected from publicly available and reliable sources. BDD may review submitted information for completeness, consistency, and relevance before publishing or updating a profile.

Doctor Verification

BDD may use available information and appropriate verification methods to help maintain the accuracy of doctor profiles. Where applicable, verification may include reviewing:

1. Information submitted by the doctor or representative.
2. Professional qualifications and credentials.
3. Workplace or institutional information.
4. BM&DC registration information where relevant.
5. Supporting documents provided for profile verification.

A verification process does not mean that BDD provides medical certification or guarantees the quality of a doctor’s treatment. The official BM&DC website provides a facility for searching registered doctors by registration number.

Content Creation & Review

BDD content may be created, edited, or reviewed by members of our content team and, where appropriate, by relevant subject-matter contributors. Our editorial process may include:

Submission → Initial Review → Fact Checking → Editing → Approval → Publication → Periodic Update

The level of review may vary depending on the type of content. Directory information, for example, may require verification of profile details, while general informational content may require source checking and editorial review.

Sources & References

When creating healthcare-related content, we aim to use reliable sources such as:

• Government health organizations
• Official healthcare authorities
• BM&DC and other relevant professional bodies
• Recognized international health organizations
• Peer-reviewed research and medical literature
• Official institutional sources
• Reliable healthcare publications

When appropriate, relevant sources may be referenced or linked to allow readers to verify information independently.

Content Updates & Corrections

Healthcare information and professional details can change over time. BDD may update content when:

• New information becomes available.
• A doctor updates their professional information.
• A hospital or healthcare facility changes its information.
• Errors are identified.
• Relevant guidelines or information change.
• A user or professional submits a valid correction request.

If you identify inaccurate or outdated information on BDD, you may contact us so that the information can be reviewed.

Doctor Profile Updates & Claims

Doctors or authorized representatives may request to claim or update an existing profile. BDD may request appropriate information or documentation to confirm that the person requesting access is authorized to manage the profile. Approved profile updates should provide accurate and relevant professional information. BDD may decline, modify, or remove information that is misleading, unverifiable, inappropriate, or inconsistent with our platform guidelines.

Advertising & Sponsored Content

BDD may display advertisements, promotional content, or sponsored placements. Where applicable:

• Sponsored or promotional content should be clearly identifiable.
• Advertising should not be presented as independent editorial content.
• Promotional claims should not intentionally mislead users.
• BDD may review promotional content before publication.
• Advertising does not guarantee the quality, outcome, or effectiveness of any healthcare service.

Patient Privacy & Sensitive Information

BDD respects user privacy and aims to avoid publishing unnecessary personal or sensitive information. We do not intentionally publish identifiable patient information without an appropriate lawful basis or permission where required. Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal or medical information through public profile forms, comments, or other areas where such information is not required. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy.

Medical Information Disclaimer

Information published on Bangladesh Doctor Directory is intended for general informational and directory purposes. BDD does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical advice through its directory content. Information on our website should not be considered a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. If you have a medical concern, you should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. In an emergency, seek appropriate emergency medical care immediately.

Editorial Independence

BDD aims to maintain a clear distinction between editorial information and commercial activities. The presence of a doctor, hospital, diagnostic center, clinic, advertisement, or promotional listing on BDD should not by itself be interpreted as an endorsement or guarantee by BDD. Editorial decisions should be based on relevance, accuracy, usefulness, and the purpose of maintaining a reliable healthcare directory.

Conflicts of Interest

Where applicable, contributors involved in creating editorial content should disclose relevant conflicts of interest that could affect the objectivity of the content. BDD may review and manage potential conflicts where necessary to maintain transparency and reliability.

User Feedback & Corrections

We welcome feedback from doctors, healthcare professionals, patients, and website visitors.

If you believe that information published on BDD is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or incomplete, please contact us with the relevant details. Our team may review the submitted information and make appropriate corrections where necessary.

Accessibility & User Experience

BDD aims to make healthcare information easy to access and understand. We strive to:

• Use clear and readable language.
• Organize information logically.
• Provide mobile-friendly content.
• Make important information easy to find.
• Improve website usability over time.
• Support accessibility wherever reasonably possible.
