Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, commonly known as BIRDEM, is a 650-bed multidisciplinary hospital complex of the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh. It is located at Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was established in 1980 with the financial support of Bangladesh government. In BIRDEM, 3,000 patients are treated in the out patients department (OPD) every day.[1]
The Diabetic Association for Pakistan (later Bangladesh Diabetic Association) was formed under the leadership of national professor Muhammad Ibrahim in February 1956. He offered a ground floor room of his home in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, to be used by the association, and there he began outpatient services for diabetes. While Bangladesh was still part of Pakistan, the government granted the association land in Segunbagicha for a hospital. BIRDEM hospital was inaugurated in 1980 at Shahbagh. In 2013, BIRDEM-2 hospital was started in Segunbagicha.[2]
