The project has been implemented by a joint venture of the Department of Social Services and the Dhaka Children’s Hospital. However, the project is on paper and not in reality. But the money has been spent. Except for two or three people in the hospital, no one knows about this stem cell therapy unit. It goes without saying where your location is. Hospital officials, who did not want to be identified, said the money was “made invisible” by the director of the department of social services, the director of the Dhaka Children’s Hospital and several doctors close to him. Although the hospital director has claimed Kaler Kanth, he does not know much about the project or the project has not yet been explained to him.
Last Thursday I went to Dhaka Children’s Hospital and asked staff at different levels and none of them could find the stem cell therapy unit. At one point, a doctor from the hospital’s surgical department asked not to be identified, saying: ‘I heard that this unit was supposed to be installed within the surgery department. Or one of the four instruments arrived. And I heard that three doctors went abroad for training. In addition, the device that has been brought is also much more than the real price.
The doctor said: ‘I have seen Dr. Khaled Mahmud Shakil, director of the social service project and director of the hospital working on a project called Stem Cell Therapy. They have done it all. We have heard that a former director of this hospital was also involved in this case. However, since the project has not taken any real form, no one is discovering its existence.
According to government documents, the project entitled ‘Establishment of the Advanced Pediatric Surgery and Stem Cell Therapy Unit of the Dhaka Children’s Hospital’, under the Department of Social Services, started in July 2016. And it is supposed to end in December 2016 this year. However, the project manager said: ‘The project work was completed last year. The purchase invoice has also been paid.

On the other hand, within the framework of this project, 70 doctors from seven different departments of Dhaka Children’s Hospital on stem cell therapy and advanced pediatric surgery were going to go to India and, if necessary, to other nearby countries for technical training. more and highly specialized. Of these, 20 in the department of surgery pay four lakh rupees per person for two weeks, 10 doctors in the hematology department pay three lakh rupees per person for one week, 10 doctors in the neurology department pay two lakh rupees per person for week, 10 doctors in the pulmonology department pay one lakh of rupees per person per week.

It was supposed to be purchased for Rs 90 million. At the same time, within the framework of the repair and maintenance of the hospital infrastructure, Rs. 25 lakh was set aside for the repair of the physical infrastructure required for the installation of a modular operating room and Rs.
When asked, the director of the Dhaka Children’s Hospital, Prof. Dr. Shafi Ahmed Muaz, first told Kaler Kantha: “Everything has been done, but it could not be inaugurated because of Corona.” But when asked about the exact location of the project and where all the equipment had been installed, he said: “The operating room module has been installed. I don’t know what happened to the rest. The project has been executed by the Department of Social Services. They didn’t explain anything to me. I myself do not understand exactly what has happened until the project authorities explain it to me. Other than that, I am not involved in this project. He wasn’t even in the middle of spending money. And the hospital was supposed to give us around 10 million rupees, but we didn’t have the ability to pay that money. Also, of the 60 doctors who were supposed to go abroad at the hospital, three or four have left, and I know the rest have money on deposit.
The project manager, Helaluddin Bhuiyan, told Kaler Kantha: “Although the project is valid until next December, the work was completed last year. Purchase invoices have also been paid. There is nothing left outside of work. Everything is done ‘. When asked where the equipment was and where the unit was located, the official said: “The project has been contracted by 80 to 40 percent. In this case, everything has been done on our part, but I don’t know anything about the initiative of the hospital side. The three devices are stored in a hospital room. There was a problem in the hospital gas line and the gas connection could not be given to those devices. However, the rest of the device was going to be turned over by the hospital authorities. Although we are ready to explain, the hospital authorities do not understand your problems. And it is up to them if they make their share of the money or what they buy.
The project manager stated: “Although 70 doctors were supposed to be sent abroad, none of them could be sent abroad with the money from this project. Because the hospital authorities have not completed the list or process necessary for this. As a result, the money has been returned. However, the hospital director said, the money has been deposited. On the other hand, the project director said that the stem cell therapy unit in pavilion 5 of the surgery department of the main building of the children’s hospital has been repaired by laying beds and laying tiles. However, several doctors in the department said: “This work has been done from another sector.”
