Therefore, if you start changing your habits today, it is possible to ensure a healthy life tomorrow.”
Cardiology Department Senior Consultant Dr. Zahiruddin Mahmud Ilyas said, “Although it is still a big health challenge in Bangladesh, most of it is preventable. If you develop habits like regular physical activity, eating nutritious food and getting health check-ups, it is possible to reduce the risk of heart disease to a large extent and keep the heart system safe. Our goal is to ensure timely treatment and make everyone aware not to neglect even the slightest symptoms.”
