FE Report
Arthritis experts said at a press conference Sunday that the tendency of patients to seek orthopedic treatment abroad will be reduced as there has been development in this area in the country. "I am glad to observe that proficient arthritis treatment facilities and skills are now available in Bangladesh as the arthritis challenge is reaching endemic proportions", said Dr Bharat Mody, a leading knee arthritis doctor from India. Bangladesh Orthopedic Society organised the press conference at a city hotel marking its on-going convention on the latest treatment modalities for arthritis. Talking about the arthritis treatment in the country, Dr Mody said, "Bangladeshi patients who suffer from severe arthritis can easily avail modern treatment without going overseas". He told reporters that aged persons were mostly affected by the disease. Dr Abdul Awal Rizvi, director, National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) and a well respected bone specialist, said, "It is a common misconception that arthritis has no treatment and one has to live with it."
