A cough that won’t go away or trouble catching your breath can make everyday life worrying. In Dhaka, Dr. Sheikh Tanvir Hossain treats chest diseases, asthma and other breathing problems. The doctor holds MBBS, BCS (Health), MD (Pulmonology), MACP and CCD, and works at NIDCH—the national chest diseases institute and hospital—as a Consultant Pulmonologist. With 11 years of experience, Dr. Hossain sees patients with ongoing cough, COPD, tuberculosis and infections affecting the lungs. Other areas of care include pleural effusion, where fluid collects around the lungs, assessment for possible lung cancer, and breathing difficulties during sleep. The doctor’s training in diabetology is also relevant for people who have diabetes alongside a respiratory condition. Whether symptoms are new or have been troubling you for some time, these are concerns you can bring to a consultation. For private appointments, Dr. Hossain sees patients at Sara Healthcare, Rampura, in Dhaka. The chamber is in Molla Tower, on Lift-6, opposite the BTV Center. Consultations run from 7pm until 9pm, Saturday through Wednesday; the chamber is closed on Thursdays and Fridays. This evening schedule may be useful if you need to arrange a visit after work.
