# 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:
