DHAKA, April 18, 2026 (BSS) - Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), a multi-super specialty hospital based in Udaipur, Rajasthan, has expressed its willingness to support Bangladesh in combating the ongoing measles and viral fever outbreaks by strengthening technical and healthcare services. At a press briefing held at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) today, PIMS officials also proposed providing advanced training to Bangladeshi physicians and offering treatment for complex diseases, including cancer, at relatively low cost. PIMS Onco-Surgery Services Director Dr Quresh Bambora said the institution is ready to extend direct support by sending skilled medical teams if requested by the Bangladesh government. He added that PIMS could also provide consultations and run awareness programs through digital platforms. Dr Bambora noted that PIMS offers comprehensive treatment packages for Bangladeshi patients -- covering accommodation, meals and diagnostic services -- at more affordable rates compared to many other hospitals in India. He highlighted the institute's cost-effective care in areas such as cancer, gastroenterology and complex liver diseases, without hidden charges. Meanwhile, Director of Gastroenterology Surgery Services Dr Kamal Kishore Bishnoi emphasized that PIMS is not limited to patient care alone. He said the institute is also prepared to provide specialized training programs for Bangladeshi doctors, which would help them deliver modern, internationally standardized treatment services in the country.
