Prof. Dr. Kh. Md. Rayhan Hossain

A sudden scream from a playing child stops every adult in their tracks. Kids running around the busy weaving looms in Rupganj often get minor scrapes and bruises. Parents usually just apply some turmeric paste and send them back out to play. A sharp continuous pain in the abdomen tells a completely different story. A five year old boy might collapse on the dirt floor unable to stand up. The local pharmacy syrups do absolutely nothing to stop the crying. The family quickly realizes this is a severe medical emergency requiring a real expert. Prof Dr Kh Md Rayhan Hossain takes charge of these terrifying pediatric crises. He holds the massive responsibility of being a Professor and Department Head at the Sheikh Rasel Gastroliver Institute for the Child Surgery department. His educational background is incredibly solid. He earned his MBBS degree first. He then mastered the delicate art of operating on tiny bodies by completing an MS as a Child Surgeon. You will find him consulting worried parents at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. Operating on a child is completely different from treating an adult. The organs are tiny and incredibly fragile. The terrified parents carry their weeping boy into the chamber. Dr Rayhan Hossain approaches the situation with absolute calm. He gently touches the swollen belly while distracting the boy with a small toy. A veteran surgeon knows exactly how to spot a twisted intestine or a severe appendicitis just by feeling the muscle tension. He orders a quick ultrasound to confirm his physical findings. Heading a major national department means he trains the brightest young doctors in the country. He brings that exact clear communication style to his private practice. He grabs a blank piece of paper and draws a simple sketch of the stomach. He explains the surgical procedure using plain everyday words. He tells the weeping mother exactly how small the cut will be. He sets a clear timeline for the hospital stay and the recovery process at home. He speaks in a warm tone that removes the heavy fear of the operating theater. Rushing a screaming child with a surgical emergency to the capital city is pure torture. The bumpy highway ride makes the abdominal pain completely unbearable. Every sudden stop of the ambulance brings more agony. Having a national department head available right in the neighborhood is a massive blessing for local residents. The family can arrange the delicate procedure locally in a clean environment. The boy can recover in his own bed surrounded by his favorite toys. Watching a little boy run freely again wipes away all the dark memories of a hospital room.
