http://www.apua.org

Bangladesh

APUA-Bangladesh was established in 1985 by a group of doctors, microbiologists, pharmacologists, and university professors based at the Institute of Post Graduate Medicine and Research (IPGMR), with representation from the International Chapter of Diarrheal D and R and the Public Health Institute.

Chapter objectives:

  • Act as a catalyst for scientific data collection and
    technical assistance.
  • Engage in innovative scientific research, conducting
    studies and projects of particular relevance to in-country
    problems.
  • Translate and disseminate findings to health agencies and
    the public.

Chapter activities have included appearances by chapter
leaders on television and radio, discussing the appropriate use
of antibiotics. APUA has provided technical assistance by
arranging visits from APUA medical consultants and assistance in
developing a proposal for submission to the Board on Science
and Technology for International Development (BOSTID) at the
National Academy of Sciences. The president of APUA-Bangladesh established an in-country library using the
newsletter for medical students to teach the prudent use of
antibiotics.
