How do you find a person in a hospital when you don't know the name of the hospital?

Question

I just know the city.My father was in bangladesh on a ship.He had an accident and was taken to a hospital but we don't know which one.He was in chittagong.How do I find out.We have no contact with him.He sent a text message to us about the accident and then no news at all.He's not picking up the cell phone.Is there a way I can find out which hospital he's in?

Answer 1

If you know the name of the ship that would help, that way the chittagong police might be able to trace the record of who the victims were and where they were transported to. If you have the message you could find out from its source (the name of the firm which transmits the message) and inquire where/who took the msg and transmitted it. It could be at the hospital or near it. Maybe one of the workers at the hospital assisted your father to get the message transmitted.

Answer 3

Contact the ship or the cruise line. The ship would either know where your father was taken, or they could find out more easily than you, because they're on the spot. The cruise line should be helpful because they don't want to get a reputation for abandoning their guests.

I don't think even in this country hospitals list their patients on line. You would basically have to call each one.

Answer 4

Please try to find the name of the Ship, approximate date when the accident occurred and nationality of your father. These are the bare minimum requirements those you may know and would help to locate. Of course, your father's name must also be informed.

Btw, I am in export business for the last 5-years and we have a few friends and business associates in shipping lines. I think it is not that difficult to find the hospital's name in Chittagong port city if you can provide appropriate information to people involved in this trade, including the vessel owner/operator for whom your father worked.

Hope you all the luck with the search.

ok Greg is an ***! this is a foreign counrty and that is different. You could do several things....call the American Conscilate (I so mis-splled that!) to help you out, google the hospitals in the town you call each one, can you get ahold of hte ship or the company for the ship he was on? call a private investigator, it will cost you some money but they can get a translater to call around in the city for you. Call a travel agent and appeal to their good nature ot help you out....ask the cell company to give you the area fo the cell tower the call came from and then you can find the closet hospital. I am so sorry about this, it must be very scary and again, Greg is an ***!
