Bangladesh is stepping into a new chapter in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with paralysis and long-term neurological conditions.
Starting today, a limited-scale pilot project will be launched at the country’s first robotic rehabilitation center (RRC), located at the Super Specialized Hospital of Bangladesh Medical University (BMU) in Shahbagh, said a media release on Wednesday.
The center, established with technical support from China, has been developed following international standards. It will offer advanced, technology-driven, and targeted rehabilitation services. According to relevant sources, the Chinese government has donated robotic equipment worth approximately Taka 20 crore for the project, reports BSS. In terms of technology, this center is set to become one of the most advanced robotic rehabilitation facilities in South Asia, marking a significant milestone in Bangladesh’s medical sector.
