Renting vs Buying Medical Equipment in Bangladesh: Costs and When Each Makes Sense

Quick answer: rent medical equipment when it is needed for weeks, and buy when it will be used for months or years. In Dhaka the break-even point is often only one to three months. For example, a CPAP or BiPAP rental at ৳1,000 per day costs about the same as an entry-level machine after about six weeks.

When renting makes sense

• Recovery after surgery, a fracture or a hospital stay.
• Short-term oxygen after pneumonia or COVID-19.
• Trying CPAP or BiPAP while the doctor confirms the settings.
• Equipment needed for a visiting relative or palliative care.

When buying makes sense

• Long-term oxygen therapy, sleep apnea or permanent mobility needs.
• When the rent for the expected period would cost more than buying.
• When you want a specific brand, mask or feature for daily comfort.

Questions to ask before you decide

• How long will the patient need it? Ask the doctor for an estimate.
• What is the total rent for that period, and is there a deposit?
• Who services the equipment and what happens if it breaks?
• For purchases: what warranty and local repair support are available? See medical equipment repair in Dhaka.
