Dr. Jaglul Gaffar Khan (Zia)

Dr. Jaglul Gaffar Khan (Zia) is an Assistant Professor at Dhaka Medical College with specialized expertise in Adolescent and Teenage healthcare. He completed his MBBS from Dhaka and BCS (Health), followed by an MS in Pediatric Surgery. His professional background combines pediatric surgical training with a particular focus on the health concerns that can arise during adolescence, a stage marked by rapid physical and emotional development.

Teenagers may experience health issues that differ from those seen in younger children. Growth-related problems, nutritional concerns, developmental changes, congenital conditions and certain surgical disorders may require age-appropriate assessment. Pediatric Surgery also involves conditions affecting children that can sometimes continue to need attention as they grow older. Dr. Jaglul Gaffar Khan's MS training provides a specialized foundation for evaluating such cases and identifying when surgical care may be necessary. His academic role at Dhaka Medical College adds a teaching dimension to his professional work, allowing him to remain involved in medical education alongside patient care. For adolescents and teenagers, clear communication can be especially helpful during consultation, as symptoms and concerns may not always be discussed openly. A careful history, physical examination and relevant investigations can help establish the cause of a problem. His combination of pediatric surgical training and adolescent-focused practice supports specialist care for young patients with a range of developmental and surgical health concerns.
