Country’s first pet hospital launched in Dhaka

DHAKA, Oct 28, 2018 (BSS) – The country’s first ‘Teaching and Training
Pet Hospital and Research Centre’ began its journey in the capital today.

Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) established
the pet hospital and research centre on a land of 22 katha at Purbachal
aiming to provide treatment to pet animals and impart training on intern and
post-graduate veterinary doctors.

Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid formally inaugurated the hospital at
a function at the newly constructed hospital and research centre at Purbachal
here this afternoon.

Apart from existing infrastructure, a multi-storey building will be set
up with modern facilities, including medicine, surgery, gynecology and
obstetrics, orthopedics, radiology and imaging and vaccination units.

Intern veterinary students of different universities will be able to get
training on pet animals from the centre.

Speaking on the occasion, Nahid said people who rear pet animals will get
modern treatment for their pets from the hospital.

“As we did not have any public hospital for pet animals, this hospital
will play a key role to ensure improved treatment of pet animals. Intern
doctors will also get the opportunity to acquire practical knowledge from
expert doctors at the hospital,” he added.

University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Prof Abdul Mannan, Secondary
and Higher Education Division Secretary Md Sohorab Hossain and CVASU Vice-
Chancellor Prof Dr Goutam Buddha Das, among others, spoke on the occasion.
