Bangladesh Core FHIR Implementation Guide (BD-Core-FHIR-IG)
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) is leading the development of the Bangladesh Core FHIR Implementation Guide (BD-Core-FHIR-IG) as part of implementing the Bangladesh Digital Health Blueprint.
This initiative is designed to ensure that health information systems in Bangladesh can work together seamlessly. By following internationally recognized standards, Bangladesh is not only strengthening its own health data governance but also creating the foundation for cross-border health information exchange in the future.
For patients, this means clear benefits:
- Their health information will move more smoothly between hospitals, clinics, and programs.
- Duplicate tests and procedures can be reduced, saving both time and cost.
- Patients will experience better continuity of care when moving between providers or even across borders.
The Implementation Guide is available at:

Why this matters
- Supports the national blueprint for digital health implementation.
- Provides a trusted reference for all stakeholders in the health sector.
- Builds the pathway for internationally compatible digital health services.
- Ensures that the patient remains at the center of the health information ecosystem.
