People who have availed different services from South Asia Centre for Medical Physics and Cancer Research before shared their opinion - World Trend Clips said,giving a rating of 5 out of 5, South Asia Centre for Medical Physics and Cancer Research (SCMPCR) established in 3rd July 2018 is comprised of a group of philanthropic personnel with representatives from different regions of South Asia to work on different projects.

The burden of cancer is increasing day by day at the alarming level all over the world as well as in Bangladesh. Radiotherapy is the most important, curative and cheapest modality for the treatment of cancer. Cancer will appear as epidemic not only in Bangladesh also in countries of South Asia region in the coming decades. Though in radiotherapy the number of radiation oncologists is somewhat sufficient in South Asia region including Bangladesh nevertheless medical physicists are quite new personal except India and almost nil in some countries like Bhutan.

Facing this situation, a considerable increase of new updated modern technologies as well as new departments are introducing in Bangladesh in radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine area of the health sectors. The complexity in the radiation therapy treatment of this disease definitely requires more qualified medical physicists. Without medical physicist, radiotherapy treatment must not be practiced according to the rules of the International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA); medical physicists work as a partner of radiation oncologist in a team for cancer treatment. The same rule is applicable in case of radiology and nuclear medicine sector.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2 Teletherapy machines and 1 Brachytherapy machine are needed for 1 million population. At present, Bangladesh needs 160 radiotherapy facilities, 320 teletherapy and 160 brachytherapy machines to cover an optimal standard of radiotherapy treatment for 160 million people. This means that a minimum of 700 qualified medical physicists will be required to satisfy the demand in radiotherapy according to WHO standards and more if the need in diagnostic radiology departments is considered.

Presently, in Bangladesh, there are 16 radiotherapy departments of which external beam therapy is provided in 15 centres with 13 Co-60 radiotherapy machines and with 13 linear accelerators and 8 brachytherapy units. At present, there is only 150 radiation oncologist and 30 medical physicists are employed in different Radiotherapy departments.

Now the government is very aware of developing this manpower and creating more centres in district, upazila and union level. Very soon seventeen new centres will be established in these areas. This situation imposes an enormous challenge in the development of qualified medical physicist in Bangladesh which is a new era in BD.

Needless to say, to build up any new profession require successive planning like education, training, research on medical physics and so on. Prof. Golam Abu Zakaria, Chairman, and Chief Medical Physicist Dept. of Medical Radiation Physics Gummersbach Hospital of the Klinikum Oberberg Teaching Hospital of the University of Cologne Germany is the founder of medical Physics in Bangladesh, and a visionary leader for development of the quality treatment for the cancer patients in South Asia region including Bangladesh.

One of the significant pillars of cancer treatment – Medical physicists have already found its base in Bangladesh and India and reached a significant level in this area out of other South Asia regions. Considering the increasing need of manpower in this sector, an institute for higher study (M.Sc. and Ph.D.), clinical training or residency program for accreditation and certification is urgent necessary in this field. Otherwise modern and good treatment is not possible in the South Asia region and therefore more patients will go to abroad for cancer treatment. - Mohammad ullah shemanto said,giving a rating of 5 out of 5, South Asia Centre for Medical Physics and Cancer Research (SCMPCR) established in 2017 is comprised of a group of philanthropic personnel with representatives from different regions of South Asia to work on different projects. SCMPCR is an autonomous body, under Alo Bhubon Trust (ABT) and accountable to its board of trustees/governors. It is a non-profit public partnership which will seek support from other sources. It shall work conjointly with various nationals and international organizations. Major activities of SCMPCR are: to produce skilled manpower, enhance health education and establish a welfare home for cancer patients.
The prime objectives of SCMPCR are enormous. It aims in creating awareness program for the mass people for different communicable and non-communicable diseases, especially for cancer patients under UNDP SDG-goal 3 (Good Health & Well-being). SCMPCR also takes keen interest in arranging and conducting training programs to develop skilled manpower under UNDP SDG-goal 4 (Quality Education). It realizes the need to educate specially; women regarding the screening and prevention of cancer treatment under UNDP SDG-goal 4. - about quality of their Training centre service in Savar Union.
