Bangladeshi microbiologist Senjuti Saha has been made a member of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Polio Transition Independent Monitoring Board (TIMB). This is the first time any Bangladeshi has been made a member of this board. Sheila Letharman, a professor in the Department of Public Health at the University of North Carolina in the United States, and Lola Dyer, a Nigerian physician, have been appointed with Senjuti. The World Health Organization's TIMB project works primarily to prevent the spread of polio worldwide. The WHO has been working on the polio situation since its approval in May 2018. Senjuti Saha, along with two other members of the board, will be advising on the progress of the polio transmission process at the WHO Director General level.
For the first time, an organization called Child Health Research Foundation has returned to discover the genetic secret of corona in Bangladesh. Leading the study of the discovery of the secret of this gene, the renowned microbiologist Dr. Sameer Kumar Saha and his daughter. Sejunti Saha. As a result, the nature and capabilities of the virus in Bangladesh will be known. The rapid transformation of the virus can also be understood through this genome sequence. Which will help to prevent corona infections. It will also be useful to discover the antidote to corona.
Senjuti's father, Professor Sameer Saha, is also a microbiologist and head of the microbiology department at Dhaka Children's Hospital. The role of these fathers and daughters in reducing infant mortality in low-income countries cannot be described in a words! They are both children of masterpieces of Chandpur. These two scientists already have a good reputation in the international arena for their research in medical science. There is a lot of international recognition in the record of achievement.
This Senjuti, the woman I have been talking about for so long, is a microbiologist and an activist. Everyone in the world should have an equal right to practice science and enjoy the benefits of science. But we often see that developed countries benefit a lot more than us and they are involved in the decision making process. They are human beings, and we who live in the low-developed countries are human beings. If they can qualify themselves for all decisions, then why can't we?????
We have to be able to do that . We have to stand with our heads high in the chest of the world, we have to represent the country and present the country in front of the whole world. And for that we need to think about how to speak up for developing countries like ours. And this achievement of microbiologist Sejuti Saha as the representative of Bangladesh is not only her achievement, but also the achievement of the whole of Bangladesh. I am proud of her.
