DUCSU, TIKA Take Tk 27.5m Project to Modernise DUMC

The Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU), in partnership with the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), has launched a project valued at around Tk 27.5 million (2.75 crore) to modernise the Dhaka University Medical Centre (DUMC).

On Wednesday, a DUCSU delegation met TIKA's Country Coordinator, Mohammad Ali Arman, at the agency’s office in Baridhara, Dhaka.

The project covers the provision of an ambulance, ten modern air-conditioners, X-ray and ECG machines, analysers, microscopes, hospital beds, cabinets, chairs, desks, and other essential medical equipment.

In addition, renovation work is underway to upgrade the medical centre’s infrastructure, including the construction of a model pharmacy and an emergency unit on the ground floor. Significant progress in project implementation is expected within the next month.

Alongside these infrastructure improvements, TIKA has also introduced healthcare programmes aimed at benefiting the student community.
