Dhaka Medical College corridor. The best known hospital in Bangladesh. (I spent almost all by time at the LAMB hospital, which is a long way from Dhaka). This corridor is outside the high-level care obstetric ward. The rate of pre-eclampsia and obstetric complications is quite high in Bangladesh. It comes as a shock to a Western-trained doctor such as myself. On the other hand, many babies in Bangladesh are born at home.
