Asst. Prof. Dr. Sk. Abdullah Al-Mamun

Skipping lunch is almost a badge of honor for wholesale cloth merchants in Kalir Bazar. They sit cross legged on white sheets surrounded by mountains of fabric. Customers arrive constantly from neighboring districts. Leaving the shop to eat means losing a big sale. These traders just order strong black tea from the street vendors to kill their hunger. The stomach acid builds up quietly over the years. One evening a sharp burning sensation strikes right below the ribs. The merchant tries drinking cold milk. The fire inside his gut refuses to go out. Asst Prof Dr Sk Abdullah Al Mamun steps into this painful reality. He holds the rank of Assistant Professor. His medical education carries a very interesting mix of degrees. He started with an MBBS. He then studied broader community health patterns by earning an MPH. He finally narrowed his focus entirely to the digestive tract by completing an MD in Gastroenterology. You will find him treating stomach ailments at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. The exhausted trader arrives at the clinic clutching his abdomen. Dr Mamun brings a very practical perspective to the examination room. His public health background means he understands exactly how local market culture ruins the human gut. He asks the man exactly how many cups of tea he drinks on an empty stomach. He presses gently on the upper belly to find the exact spot of the pain. He knows that chronic starvation and high stress create deep ulcers. He orders an endoscopy to see the actual damage inside the stomach lining. Teaching young doctors gives an Assistant Professor a very clear voice. He grabs a blank piece of paper and draws a simple sketch of the digestive system. He shows the merchant exactly where the acid burned holes in the tissue. He writes down a strict medication schedule to block the acid production. He tells the trader to bring a small tiffin box from home and eat at a fixed time. He speaks in a firm tone to ensure the patient changes his daily habits. Putting a man with severe stomach cramps on a bus to the capital is pure torture. The bumpy highway ride makes the nausea completely unbearable. Having a highly qualified gastroenterology specialist right in the city is a massive blessing. The family can get the endoscopy done locally in a clean environment. The merchant can start his healing process without enduring a suffocating journey. Follow up visits become a simple walk down the street. A calm digestive system lets a busy trader focus entirely on growing his business.
