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.

CSF C/S for AFB
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Culture and Sensitivity for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) is a diagnostic test to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the CSF, typically in cases of suspected tuberculous meningitis. The test involves collecting CSF via lumbar puncture under sterile conditions. The sample is processed for AFB staining, culture on specific media (like Löwenstein-Jensen), and molecular tests like PCR for confirmation. Preparation includes fasting and ensuring sterile conditions. Risks include headache, infection, or rare neurological complications from the lumbar puncture. Results showing AFB-positive cultures confirm tuberculosis; however, false negatives can occur due to low bacterial load. Contamination or prior antibiotics may affect accuracy.1200 BDT
