Around 500 diabetologists and doctors of Dhaka city attended the programme inaugurated by the Managing Director of Square Pharmaceuticals Tapan Chowdhury.
Prof AK Azad Khan, Prof Emeritus Hajera Mahtab and retired Major General Prof AR Khan spoke on the occasion.
A milestone in pharmaceuticals manufacturing was achieved by Square through the establishment of its state-of-the-art "Insulin Manufacturing Unit" on April 28 this year. The plant was built at Kaliakoir, Gazipur and confirms to standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency. The Minister of Finance AMA Muhit with the Minister of Health and Family Welfare inaugurated the plant in the presence of foreign dignitaries, doctors and media personnel.
Diabetic population in Bangladesh is increasing alarmingly. According to the World Health Organisation, the diabetic population in the country will cross 11million in 2030. Many patients require insulin to control diabetes.
Square's Ansulin would ensure world-class quality with substantial price reduction over imported counterparts and hence marks a new era in the production and marketing of insulin in Bangladesh.
