Association of Clinical endocrinologist & Diabetologist of Bangladesh

The Association of Clinical Endocrinologist and Diabetologist of Bangladesh (ACEDB) was formed in 2016 to serve as the active voice for clinical endocrinologists and diabetologists of Bangladesh. ACEDB is created with a mission to promote the art and science of clinical endocrinology, diabetology, and metabolism for the improvement of patient care and public health, and with a vision to be recognized as the authoritative voice for endocrinology and diabetology in Bangladesh and abroad.

Dear Colleagues,

Hope you are safe and in good health.

Endocrinology has bloomed in our country with new hope and aspirations. Both Government and private institutes are building capacities in this field. Millions of patients with diabetes, obesity and other hormone related problems are getting benefitted from their ever increasing specialized services.

Association of Clinical Endocrinologist and Diabetologist of Bangladesh (ACEDB) is the largest professional platform of all the registered Endocrinologists of Bangladesh. It is the voice of Endocrinologist of Bangladesh. Currently we have more than 150 post-graduate endocrinologists as general and life member of this association. We are working to ensure the rights and privileges of the endocrinologists to create scope of providing service to people and to carry out advanced researches in the field of endocrinology. To promote excellence in clinical care across the country, ACEDB had organized a number of national and regional conferences. In COVID-19 pandemic, ACEDB has adapted successfully and academic activities including annual scientific conference have been organized through virtual media. ACEDB has published a guideline for management of endocrine problems during COVID-19 era which has been recognized to be helpful by the physicians across the country.

As the president of the association, I am excited to get the opportunities to work for fulfilling the goals of ACEDB. I am very much thankful to our immediate past President Prof. Abdus Saleque Mollah who has set in motion of various initiatives that we need to carry forward.

With all the members of newly formed executive committee, ACEDB plans to be a driving force dedicated to the growth of our society and to develop and maintain the visibility and relevance of Endocrinology to the Bangladesh medical community as a whole. With all our combined efforts, we hope to overcome all the challenges to achieve our goals.
