The goal is to offer high-quality diagnostic services to the people of the country at an affordable price, reducing the need for patients to seek medical treatment abroad and spend their hard-earned foreign currency. This will be achieved by providing diagnostic services that meet international standards. Additionally, renowned General Practitioners, Consultants, and Professors in various medical fields will provide outpatient treatment. The focus is also on promoting health education and medical services. A day care center will be established to cater to follow-up care for cardiac, renal, and oncology patients. The long-term objective is to establish a fully equipped specialized hospital offering tertiary medical services. Furthermore, the plan includes the establishment of satellite collection centers.

Short Synacthen Test
The Short Synacthen Test (SST) is used to assess adrenal gland function by measuring cortisol production after synthetic ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is administered. Preparation typically involves fasting for 8 hours before the test. During the procedure, a blood sample is taken to measure cortisol levels, followed by an injection of synthetic ACTH, then more samples are taken at 30 and 60 minutes. Risks include discomfort from the injection and slight dizziness or nausea. Results are interpreted by comparing cortisol levels before and after the injection. Low cortisol responses may indicate adrenal insufficiency, while normal responses suggest healthy adrenal function.3600 BDT
