Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain yesterday said initiatives will be taken to install modern equipments at the Infertility Centre of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) here to ensure advanced treatment facilities for infertility in the country.
“The Prime Minister has directed the authorities to ensure world-class treatment facilities at hospi-tals across the country. State-of-the-art technologies from around the world will be brought to Bangladesh to ensure advanced treatment,” he said.
The minister made the remarks as the chief guest at a scientific seminar organised at the Repro-ductive Endocrinology and Infertility Unit of Dhaka Medical College this morning, on the occasion of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month.
Sakhawat said the rate of infertility in the country is increasing due to hormonal and metabolic problems among women caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.
“Modern treatment facilities in many countries have created opportunities for people to conceive. Therefore, we have already contacted countries, including China, to bring advanced technologies to Bangladesh soon,” he said.
Head of the DMCH Gynaecology Department Professor Dr Musarrat Sultana chaired the seminar.
Health Services Division Secretary Dr ANM Bazlur Rashid, Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) Director General Professor Dr. Pravath Chandra Biswas, Dhaka Medical College Principal Professor Dr Md Mazharul Shaheen and DMCH Director Brigadier General AKM Farhad Hossain, among others, spoke at the seminar.
