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.

Throat Swab for AFB
A Throat Swab for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the throat. The procedure involves collecting a sample of mucus from the throat using a sterile swab. No special preparation is usually required. The swab is sent to a lab, where it's stained and examined under a microscope. Potential risks include mild discomfort or gagging. Results are interpreted by the presence of AFB; positive results suggest TB or a related infection. Conditions like recent antibiotic use may affect accuracy, and results may take several days.600 BDT
