Professor Brig. General Dr. Humayun Kabir

Professor Brigadier General (Retd.) Dr. Humayun Kabir has spent many years treating problems related to the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. He completed his MBBS and later earned FCPS qualifications in Medicine and Neurology. He also received fellowship training in Neurology in Singapore. Patients may come to him because of a sudden weakness, repeated headaches, dizziness, seizures, memory changes, or numbness in the hands and feet. Some symptoms appear overnight. Others slowly become part of everyday life before someone decides to seek help. Neurology deals with both kinds of cases.

Stroke care is one part of his practice. He also sees patients with epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson's disease, tremors, vertigo, dementia, balance problems, and peripheral neuropathy. A patient may arrive with an MRI scan under one arm and a list of medicines under the other. Another may only have a family member describing changes in memory or walking. Those details can matter. He spent years serving as a professor of Neurology, so teaching and clinical work have gone together throughout his career. During a consultation, he usually needs to ask many small questions before reaching a decision. How long has the symptom been there? Did it start suddenly? Is it getting worse? Sometimes a neurological examination gives more information than the patient expects. Further tests may be needed. Sometimes they are not. People from Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh often travel for specialist neurological opinions when symptoms have remained unclear. The next step depends on what the examination shows. Nothing fancy. Just careful assessment and follow-up.
