BSMMU

Dancing with Sycophancy

The spectacle raises some serious questions about the state of academic integrity and leadership.

We need a referral system that works

Acknowledging the current strain on the reference system is the first step.

Who will listen to the woes of trainee doctors?

A giver lives many lives

Organ donation pioneer Sarah shows the way forward for others

Sarah showed the way

Seven people, including Vice-Chancellor of   Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Prof Sharfuddin Ahmed,   have announced they would donate their organs after death, following in the footsteps of   Sarah Islam – the first cadaveric organ donor in the country.

Lives deprived of hope

Twelve-year-old Rubaiya’s world is limited to her bed. A resident of the Korail slum in the capital, she lives in a dark windowless tin-shed shanty. She has not seen a glimpse of the sky in the last three years. The last time she went on a trip outside was seven years ago, at her grandmother’s home in Cumilla.
