BIRDEM elderly patients
BIRDEM is not only a hospital but also a research centre. It is rendering excellent service to thousands of diabetic patients free of cost, which is really commendable.
I understand there are a number of diabetic patients whose history of diabetes is very old. They provide an excellent opportunity to doctors where research is concerned. I suggest that patients with 35 years or more of diabetics should be given special treatment by BIRDEM through the opening of a separate counter for them. They may be provided with special care and facilities, like prompt investigation, free medicine, free hospital beds and free operation whenever needed. This will be helpful not only to elderly patients but also to BIRDEM for developing the expertise of its doctors, dieticians and other staff. Will the BIRDEM authorities give a thought to the proposal?
