Renowned for his significant social contribution in his native Manikganj, police officer Mohammad Rabiul Karim is no longer with us. He was one of the two police officers killed duringthe 1 Julyterroristsiege in Gulshan. But his legacy lives on.
On 19 August the school for children with disabilities that Rabiul founded organised a health screening programme to provide students and parents with expert medical consultations. The event continues the tradition of free health care that was a part of Rabiul's dream.
Travelling from Dhaka by bus a 20-member team of general physicians, a physiotherapist, speech therapist and audiologists under the leadership of the founding chairman of the department of communication disorders at Dhaka
University, Dr. Hakim Arif, arrived at Katigram village in Krishnapur union of Manikganj Sadarupazila.
At the campus of Rabiul’s school, called the Beaconing Light Organisation of Mankind and Society, or Blooms for short, the medical team set up three separate medical boards for consultations.
"A total of 32 of the 36 children who attend the school were examined along with their parents," says Abdul Alim Khan, executive member of the school’s committee and a deputy secretary of public works.
"We found that eight students have speech and language problems," says De LImmul Khair Alam, a member of the medical team, "six are short of hearing two have cerebral palsy, one is autistic, while two each have thyroid problems, suffer learning difficulties orphysical disabilities."
"We will also give medicine and
other support to the children,” says Shamsuzzaman Shams, member secretary of the school authority and Rabiul’s younger brother. "This programme must continue."
"We are all happy to participate in these programmes," says Md Nuruzzaman, a professor from Dhaka University's philosophy department, on behalf of the medical team, "out of respect for the late police officer's efforts and his self-sacrifice."
Medical team participants also included Dr. Sonia Sultana, Dr. Nawsher Ali Bhuyan and Dr. Jannat E Nur who provided diagnoses, prescriptions and advice
The parents meanwhile were thankful forthe opportunity provided forthemselves and their children to access such medical expertise But among them the sentiment was universal that the day would be all the happier ifRabiul wasstill alive
