Cochlear implant surgery for the deaf at DMCH

Cochlear surgeries will be performed on October 24-26, 2009 at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) at large scale, says a press release.
Children born with congenital deafness or people who become suddenly deaf are invited to enrol their name for cochlear implant surgery that can bring back their hearing power.
The programme was jointly organised by National Institute of ENT (proposed) and Highcare Hearing Centre.
Cochlear implant surgery is a revolutionary surgery for the correction of severe to profound deafness. But many people in Bangladesh cannot afford this due to high cost.
In order to lessen the financial burden and providing the service to poor the people, the surgery was first started at government level in 2003 in Mitford Hospital, Dhaka. Since then, it is being performed at regular basis in DMCH and Mitford Hospital in particular time of the year. The recent initiative by the National Institute of ENT (proposed) will provide the surgery at large scale at relatively lower cost.
