In addition to these facilities, some pourashavas have specialized hospitals, such as tuberculosis and diabetic hospitals. In pourashavas, other than the government facilities, there are, on average, 2-15 private clinics, 1-4 NGO clinics and 2-20 diagnostic centres. In addition, there are 35 urban dispensaries across the country that provide primary health services, mainly to the urban poor. Many private for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals also provide health services in urban areas. Private hospitals are mostly located in big pourashavas or city corporations. To provide insight into this deprivation, the following two sections depict the nature of urban poverty and the limited access of the urban poor to the existing services.
