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.

Sputum for AFB
Sputum for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other mycobacteria, which cause diseases like tuberculosis (TB). The procedure involves collecting a sputum sample, usually in the morning when bacterial concentrations are higher. The sample is stained using a method like Ziehl-Neelsen, which highlights acid-fast bacteria that retain the stain even after acid washing. If Mycobacterium species are present, they will appear as red, rod-shaped organisms under the microscope. Results are typically available within a few days. A positive result indicates an active mycobacterial infection, and further tests may follow to confirm and guide treatment.600 BDT
