This profile lists Bengali, so a Bangladeshi patient can expect to be understood without an interpreter in the room.
What the profile does not settle. This is the one profile of the fourteen that names no Manipal unit anywhere in it, so no unit is shown. Do not fill it in from the other thirteen. Ask us and we will get it from the hospital before anyone plans a trip around it.
