Este Aesthetic Hospital — Chattogram

Summary
Chattogram branch of the Dhaka-headquartered Este Aesthetic Hospital brand. The brand’s physicians are named with roles on its own site, without a branch-specific assignment; the most senior surgeon among them is found in the national specialist-fellowship register under general Surgery.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. Named physician Dr. Sharmin Akter Sumi matched in the BCPS Fellows register, fellowSubject: Surgery, while the brand’s own copy advertises plastic/aesthetic surgery. [bcps] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician A name appears in only one place on the site. Physicians are named with roles on the brand’s own site, but no branch-specific assignment to Chattogram is published. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: hospital_staff, 18 September 2026 — The brand's own site publishes physician names and roles but no BM&DC registration number. The national practitioner register is not reachable by a scripted client and cannot be searched by name; no registration number is published for the named physician. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 31 August 2026 — 0 matching rows (DGHS Hospital Services Management register searched for Chattogram district; no matching facility record found under this name.) Register queried, no record found. DGHS Hospital Services Management register searched for Chattogram district; no matching facility record found under this name. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The brand names its legal entity, "Este Aesthetic Hospital Limited", in its own terms and privacy pages; the company register is not accessible. [site] Este Aesthetic Hospital Limited |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. A trade-licence number is published for the brand; no medical facility or physician registration numbers are disclosed. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. The brand’s "#1" claim is explicitly scoped to the Dhaka location on the same page; no equivalent claim is made for Chattogram.

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk/complication, aftercare, or revision-policy text found; only general contact details, not a dedicated complaint channel. [site] |

What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
