Dr. Md. Ishrat Qaium

Dr. Md. Ishrat Qaium is a Cardio Vascular Surgeon and General Surgeon working at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) and seeing patients at Metropolitan Medical Center Ltd in Dhaka. He completed his MBBS from Rajshahi Medical College, followed by BCS (Health), MRCS in Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, UK, and MS in Cardio Vascular & Thoracic Surgery from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. His work includes different types of heart and chest surgery. CABG, valve repair and replacement, congenital heart surgery, aortic procedures, and thoracic operations are among his areas of practice. Some patients need planned surgery after several tests. Others may arrive with a more urgent problem. The treatment depends on the condition, test results, and general health of the patient.

His training in both cardiovascular and general surgery is useful when a case involves more than one surgical concern. Patients may also need discussion about anesthesia, recovery time, medicines, and follow-up before an operation. Dr. Qaium is known for explaining medical matters in a way patients can understand. His MRCS training in the UK adds an international component to his surgical education, while his MS training in Bangladesh provides specialized experience in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. At NICVD and Metropolitan Medical Center Ltd, patients from Dhaka and nearby areas can seek consultation for heart and vascular surgical problems. Cardiac surgery can be stressful for families. Clear information helps. So does careful planning. The rest depends on the actual case.
