There is a contribution.

Treasurer Professor Dr Nahrin Akhtar said, "A multidisciplinary approach should ensure the latest and best quality medical services for newborns. It is a matter of hope that many premature babies will survive due to the advancement of medical science. But there are many complex issues in pediatric surgery and pediatric neurology, in which case the desired success can be achieved." There is still a lot of work to be done. The current administration of BSMMU is ready to provide all kinds of assistance for improvement, but in that case, some procedures must be followed.
