Evercare Hospital Dhaka, the country’s leading healthcare provider, has organized a special seminar on ‘Breaking Barriers, Embracing Equity’ on the month on International Women’s Day.

Present as special guests on the occasion were Rupali Chowdhury, Managing Director of Berger Paints Bangladesh Limited, and Rubaba Dowla, Country Director of Oracle Bangladesh-Nepal-Bhutan. Among others Kaiser Chowdhury, Senior Director, HR – Bangladesh, Dr. Arif Mahmud, Director, Medical Services – Bangladesh, Vinay Kaul – Chief Marketing Officer, Dr. Ashutosh Sood, Director – Operations, Dr. Samina Shirke, Director – Nursing Services, distinguished Senior Consultants, and other senior members from the leadership team were present. Employees from different divisions attended the seminar with great interest to learn more about the iconic leaders, their journey, and the insights they had to share.

Regarding women’s empowerment, Rupali Chowdhury said, “Ensure women’s rights in the workplace, improve skills, provide opportunities to disabled women, improve the education system, ensure cyber security, and provide training for rural women. In addition to the discrimination between men and women, the discrimination between rural women and urban women should also be eliminated. We want the implementation of women empowerment to start from every family, and my call to all, come forward from your position to make the country women friendly.”

In the seminar about women’s rights, equality, and equity Rubaba Dowla stated that “if women can be economically developed, it is feasible to build a modern and developed country. In all spheres of education, employment, and technology, women’s rights and equality should be guaranteed. The main failing of this society is the view of women as weak. There is no justification for assuming that women cannot perform certain tasks or that they will be challenging for them. The fields of entrepreneurship, free-lancing, and social media activity also need to be expanded for women.”

Kaiser Chowdhury, Senior Director, HR of Evercare Hospitals, Bangladesh, said, “Establishing equity in the organization is not easy. It requires hard work, careful listening, and authentic empathy, and leaders across all levels should set the tone by modeling inclusive behaviors. By embracing equity, we must provide the same opportunities for everyone while recognizing and valuing different strengths that individuals bring.”

Especially in the case of heart disease. Therefore, everyone should take regular medical checkups and doctor’s advice to ensure good health of the heart. My appeal to all, you get used to a healthy lifestyle and try to avoid the risky aspects of heart health.”

Dr. Arif Mahmud, Director of Medical Services, Evercare Hospital Dhaka said” “We believe every heartbeat in the world is different and their medical needs are also different. It is from that belief that we continue to relentlessly strive to achieve exceptional care, wellness, and confidence for every cardiac patient. Evercare Hospital Dhaka is providing world-class comprehensive cardiac care in the country. So, my appeal to everyone is to be careful about heart care, consult a doctor for any need, and trust the country’s medical system without going abroad for treatment.”

The country’s first JCI-accredited hospital, Evercare Hospital Dhaka, has recently reported the successful completion of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a complex procedure in cardiovascular surgery. On the occasion, the hospital authorities today organized a press conference. Present at the conference were the patient upon whom the procedure was carried out, his family and Evercare medical staff.

Kazi Md. Abdur Rouf, aged 72, was recently admitted to Evercare Hospital Dhaka with various ailments including issues with his kidney and lungs, among other complications associated with old age. After Mr. Rouf recently underwent heart bypass surgery, it was discovered that one of the valves of his heart was damaged. Following this news, the doctor in charge, Prof. Dr. Md. Shahabuddin Talukder, advised that Mr. Rouf undergo Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). The suggested procedure was carried out successfully by Evercare Hospital Dhaka, and Mr. Rouf is safe and healthy at present. This is only the third time in the history of Bangladesh healthcare that a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure has been executed successfully.

Prof. Dr. Md. Shahabuddin Talukder, Senior Consultant of Evercare Hospital Dhaka’s Clinical & Interventional Cardiology department said, “There are two valves in each of the four chambers of human heart. These valves assist in proper blood circulation in the body. Among these valves, an aortic valve is important because it supplies oxygenated blood to the vital organs and other organs of the body. For various reasons however, sometimes these valves can become narrow, which causes the normal flow of blood to be disrupted. Consequently, various complex diseases and complications afflict the body. Conventionally, aortic valve stenosis is treated with open heart surgery, it is extremely risky, especially for elderly patients. The alternative to this is Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Although it requires the use of the latest advanced technology, this procedure is minimally invasive (like Angioplasty) and not very complicated.” He added, “Although this method is used in many developed countries, it is only a recent development in the Bangladeshi healthcare sector. As Evercare Hospital Dhaka is equipped with all the necessary state-of-the-art technology required to carry out this procedure, we have been able to successfully complete the valve replacement of Mr. Rouf.”

Speaking about the treatment of his illness, the patient Kazi Md. Abdur Rouf said, “I extend my heartiest gratitude to Evercare Hospital Dhaka, the doctors in charge and all concerned for successfully completing my treatment through this innovative method. I feel stronger and healthier now.”

From Evercare Clinical & Interventional Cardiology Department Prof. Dr. A. Q. M. Reza, Senior Consultant & Coordinator; Prof. Dr. Tamzeed Ahmed, Senior Consultant; Dr. Kazi Atiqur Rahman, Senior Consultant were present at the event. Dr. Md. Zulfiqur Haider, Senior Consultant and Dr. Sohail Ahmed, Senior Consultant & Coordinator of CTVS Department; and Dr. Tahera Nazreen, Senior Consultant and Coordinator of Paediatric Cardiology Department along with Dr. Ratnadeep Chaskar, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Evercare Hospital Dhaka and Chief Marketing Officer, Vinay Kaul were also present at the event.
