FIELD RESEARCH AND PRACTICE CENTRE (FRPC)

BUHS places high priority on Research. The main purpose of research is to generate new knowledge. For this purpose, BUHS adopted a strategy of establishing Field Research and Practice Center (FR&PC) in rural and urban areas. In respect of the former, an FR&PC has been established at the village Binodmuri under Shuhilpur union of Chandina upazilla, Cumilla. The center was jointly inaugurated on 28 February 2023 by Prof. Dr. Faridul Alam, honorable Vice-Chancellor, BUHS and Prof. Dr. Pran Gopal Datta, renowned ENT specialist and hon’ble MP for the area (Cumilla–7, Chandina). Dean, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Prof. Dr. Sharmin Parveen and other faculty members were also present during the inaugural ceremony. The center has facilities for residential accommodation for researchers. 

Already one faculty research funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) has been completed from this center. The principal investigator was Prof. M.A. Hafez, Advisor, Dept. of Biostatistics, BUHS and co-principal investigator Dr. Anindita Datta, Associate Professor, BSMMU. The team consisted of seven other faculty members of BUHS as researchers and associate researchers. Another thesis work of a student of MS Biostatistics program of this university is ongoing under the supervision of Associate Professor Dr. Mojibur Rahman. Prof. Dr. Sharmin Parveen has expressed interest in utilizing the center for the purpose of telemedicine. In future other relevant programs can be run from this center.

Message of The Vice-Chancellor

Prof. J.M.A Hannan

Contrary to popular notion in our society health is not an issue only for the physicians but its development needs a concerted effort of professionals from basic, clinical and social sciences. In line with this concept, generation of human resources in health should not be treated merely from teaching and training points of views; research should also be equally emphasized in this venture as evidences based on geographical, environmental, ethnic and sociocultural background are a prerequisite for rational and cost-effective health care delivery in a population. Based on an internationally recognized research tradition at BIRDEM and BIHS which, in turn, are rooted in the long-term dream of Late National Professor Dr M Ibrahim, the present University aims to blend the three vital elements (teaching, training and research) of education to fulfill the ultimate responsibilities (knowledge dissemination and knowledge generation) of a higher centre of learning. With this aim Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) has started its journey with full-time non-practicing (or institutionally practicing) faculty members and a number of highly reputed guest faculties and collaborating partners from all over the world. In public health, BUHS has taken a discipline-wise subspecialty approach which fits more with the present volume of knowledge and technological advancement in the area.We believe that studying in BUHS will be a pleasant and productive experience. Welcome to the BUHS Family!
