Dr. Farhana Kalam (Ovi)

Dr. Farhana Kalam (Ovi) is a Consultant in Gynaecology with specialist training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Gynae Oncology. She completed MBBS from Dhaka Medical College, followed by FCPS in both areas. She also holds BCS (Health) and works as a Consultant at the National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital, Mohakhali.

Her work covers routine gynecological concerns as well as conditions that need closer attention. Women may seek advice for irregular periods, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, ovarian or uterine problems, and other reproductive health complaints. An ultrasound or blood report may be part of the assessment.

Gynae oncology deals with cancers and suspected cancers affecting the female reproductive system. Cervical, ovarian, uterine, and other gynecological cancers can require specialist review. Some patients come after an abnormal screening result. Others are referred after finding a mass or unusual bleeding.

Her dual FCPS qualifications give her focused postgraduate training in both general gynecology and gynecological oncology. Her current consultant role at the cancer hospital in Mohakhali also places her in a setting where oncology cases are regularly managed.
