A 200-bed specialised hospital for cancer patients will be established soon in port city.
AFC Health Ltd, Bangladesh and Cancer Treatment Services International (CTSI), made this announcement at a city hotel on Thursday afternoon.
President of the CTSI and CEO Joseph A Nicholas and AFC Health director operations Saidul Amin signed an agreement at the ceremony.
AFC Health, a rising health care service provider, will run the cancer hospital in full technical collaboration of American Oncology Institute (AOI) which is a subsidiary of the CTSI.
Chairman of AFC Health ABM Ghulam Mostafa said: “The construction will begin this year and the work is expected to end within the next 16 months. The specialised 200-bed hospital will provide international standard cancer care with the help of highly experienced local and international consultants and state-of-the art medical technology.”
“Our main goal is to provide quality treatment to the patients within an affordable cost. As we choose Chittagong to set up the hospital, so people from Chittagong, Camilla and surroundings areas do not need to come to Dhaka for cancer treatment.
“We hope that we could provide the best international standard cancer treatment to our patients,” he added.
