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.

Gastric Fluid for AFB
Testing gastric fluid for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) is used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB), especially in cases of pulmonary TB when sputum samples are unavailable or inconclusive. Gastric fluid is aspirated early in the morning after fasting, using a nasogastric tube. The sample is processed with microscopy (Ziehl-Neelsen stain) or cultured for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Preparation includes fasting overnight to ensure concentrated fluid. Risks involve mild discomfort, nasal irritation, or minor bleeding. Positive AFB results indicate TB, but culture is more sensitive and confirms the diagnosis. Negative results may occur due to low bacterial load, so repeated tests or complementary diagnostics are often needed.600 BDT
