How these numbers are calculated

  • Rate per 10,000 = count in district ÷ district population × 10,000. Population figures: BBS 2022 census (source: "BBS Census 2022"); districts marked * carry a figure still being verified.
  • Pharmacies are DGDA-licensed retail/wholesale outlets in our register; hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers and blood banks come from the DGHS private facility registry. Government hospitals are not included.
  • Divisions and districts follow the source registers: the Mymensingh-region districts are listed under Dhaka division, exactly as filed by the source.
  • "Below half the national median" counts districts whose rate is under 50% of the median district rate for the selected measure.
  • The 24-hour flag depends on pharmacies declaring it; a low count usually means unreported hours, not that no pharmacy is open at night.
  • Colour classes are quintiles of the selected rate (one hue, light to dark), so each class holds roughly the same number of districts.
