- The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control & Research IEDCR (www.iedcr.org) is Bangladesh’s National Focal Health Institute for Disease Surveillance and Outbreak Response.
- Due to years of ineffectivity, it was shamefully termed as the dumping station and as a useless organization.
- After joining in January 2004, in only a few months, I made remarkable changes and transformed the image of the organization as a prestigious and brand institution of national, regional, and international repute.
- The institute continued to grow afterward as a national torch bearer in its field.
