DHAKA, April 1, 2026 (BSS) - The authorities of Bangladesh Medical University 
(BMU) have made a special request to print tickets for online appointments to 
reduce the crowding and suffering of patients for the outpatient services 
here.
 
"If the treatment seekers make an appointment online and print the ticket and 
bring it with them, it will be possible to get a doctor's consultation 
directly at the appointed time and room," BMU Pro-Vice Chancellor 
(Administration) Professor Dr. Md Abul Kalam Azad said.

BMU Hospital Director Brigadier General Irteka Rahman said a significant 
number of patients are already receiving medical services easily through this 
modern system.

"About one lakh patients have received medical services at BMU's outpatient 
department through online tickets as of Tuesday (March 31)... Patients are 
availing this facility in both outpatient-1 and outpatient-2 units," BMUH 
director mentioned.

Currently, about one and a half to two thousand patients are taking online 
appointments from the BMU website (www.bmu.gov.bm) every day and paying for 
the tickets through digital payment system, he said, adding, "As a result, 
they are getting rid of the hassle of standing in long queues and collecting 
tickets."

The BMU authorities concerned also mentioned that this online system is 
becoming popular among patients day by day.

If more patients adopt this digital service in the future, the overall 
management of the BMUH will be easier and more effective, they hoped.
