This paper explores the trends in seeking healthcare services by the people living in the slums of Dhaka. It seeks to enhance the understanding and analysis of the trends in seeking healthcare from a behavioral perspective conditioned by the socio-economic and demographic variability. In this context the behavioral factors that were taken into considerations were determined by pre disposing factors, disorder and service characteristics. The study is based on primary data collected from five different slums of Dhaka city. This study found that people living in slum areas are simultaneously very poor and deprived. Due to low income and particular socio economic surroundings the slum population is readily exposed to several health hazards. Because of lack of ability they also failed to properly utilize available health services.
