Family Health Practice at AISD

The FHP is a primary care clinic staffed by internationally trained medical personnel. Located within the campus of the American International School in Baridhara, the clinic is open to all members of the wider community in Dhaka.

 

FAREWELL

 

After 10 years of serving at the Family Health Practice, Dr Chris Adkins will be relocating to the US. He has thoroughly enjoyed the immense privilege of serving the community, and will take many special memories with him. While sad to go, he is excited to introduce Dr Naveed Abbasi, who will be taking over as the Clinic Physician and Manager in August.

Temporarily closed for the new transition.

 

The clinic will be closed from June 6 until mid-August in order to transition the new Family Health and Child Development Practice. Please watch this space for the date of the new opening.
