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.
