Prof. Dr. Suraiya Sultana

Professor Dr. Suraiya Sultana treats women's health problems across the full range of gynaecology and obstetrics — from irregular periods and infertility, through pregnancy and delivery, to surgery for fibroids, cysts and gynaecological cancer.

Her years as Professor and Unit Head of Gynaecological Oncology at the National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital shape how she practises: cancers of the cervix, ovary and uterus are looked for early, and screening is offered as a matter of routine rather than only when something is already wrong.

Many women delay seeing a doctor about periods, infertility or bleeding because the subject feels private. At her chambers in Uttara the consultation is unhurried and private, questions are answered in plain Bangla, and nothing is decided before the problem is properly understood.
