Fertility Training Programme for Group of Bangladeshi Doctors & Nurses by Dr. Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital
Dr Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital is the largest private hospital in Sri Lanka with 1002 beds and 1st and only private teaching hospital in the country. It is located in a patient friendly location away from city hassle in a clean and green environment yet can be reached within half an hour’s drive from Colombo. Being a teaching hospital, it has a panel of over 50 eminent professors and wellknown consultants working fulltime round the clock for patients’ care. Going by the theme of Affordable price-Superior service, they have been providing a great service since their inception to the Nation.
Having such wonderful resources, they have decided to share their knowledge with the world. The event they recently held to train a team of doctors and nurses including some of the Gynecologists from Bangladeshi government is an example for that objective.
Even though there are many Bangladeshis waiting to see the smile of their children, a significant number needs subfertility assistance for the same. Right now the choices are limited as the government sector of Bangladesh doesn’t have a proper subfertility management program.
The team had a residential programme for 9 days at Dr Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital with theoretical and practical knowledge. They had exposure to two leading subfertility centres in the country namely Ninewells & Apeksha including hands on experience to Andrology labs.
The academia of Dr Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital and some of the visiting lectures from other state universities also contributed to this program.
Dr Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital is planning to hold a line of such events with other local and foreign institutions in the future.
