Those Bangladeshis of some means have better options to go to Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok or even Mount Elizabeth Hospital in S'pore. Some even fly to the UK. The money spent is magnitudes more than what is quoted in this inaccurate report. Medical treatment used to be cheap in Kolkata, but no longer. Thereby @Joe Shearer dada is correct, price conscious medical tourists usually head to Chennai or CMC Vellore where medical treatment charges are a fraction of those in Kolkata.
This part which you have endorsed. Do you have any data, Numbers before, numbers today, and your source of information?
I work with an NGO who helps the needy from BD to facilitates better treatment in this part of border. The resident BD will jump upon me, but even people cross border to do simple things like scaling and CT scan. Even in the high time of Covid special arrangements were made with BSF and BGB to transport some life saving medicines to BD. Last but not least govt hospitals do free treatment of BD citizens. The BD special cell in all superspeciality private hospitals are back and working in full swing. Again the dates for some of the highly recommended doctors are moving to months.
Since you have claimed those places are cheap stats should be given by you first. Do you mean in general these places are costly than Ballygunge, Tollygunge, Saltlake ? Maybe same as that of added areas of Behala or fringes of Park Street, Khidirpore.
