Country's first DNA Lab for Thalassemia opens at BSMMU |
|
|
|
|
Monday, 17 September 2007 |
 The first DNA laboratory for diagnosing thalassaemia opened at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University on Monday, 17 September 2007. "Thalassaemia is one of the deadliest child diseases in the country. The launch of the DNA lab to diagnose the disease is a promising event," said health adviser ASM Matiur Rahman, who attended the inaugural session as chief guest. Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disease-a genetic disorder that results in a reduced rate of synthesis of one of the globin chains that make up haemoglobin. "The government is contemplating subsidising the lab to enable the poor to receive the services," the adviser said. The function was chaired by BSMMU pro-vice chancellor and head of the child Haematology and Oncology Department Dr MA Mannan.

 We have got a new computer as kind donation from Ashfaque Memorial Fund. Dr Syeda Masooma Rahman on behalf of The Fund handed over the computer at our office on May 22, 2007. With increased volume of correspondence and workload at our office we felt the need of a computer which is fulfilled with this donation. We are thankful to Dr Masooma for choosing us for the donation.
The Ashfaque Memorial Fund usually contributes in places where patients directly get the benefit. Their immediate past donation was a fine ophthalmoscope to the Unit 3 of Department of Medicine, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka. The fund was originally organized to support the bone marrow transplantation of Ashfaque Hossain, a bright medical student of 11th batch of Sher-e-Bangla Medical College, Barishal who had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). |
