Every year, thousands of Bangladeshis travel abroad for critical heart surgeries, spending millions in foreign hospitals. But what if I told you that one of the **world’s greatest cardiac surgeons** is right here among us?
Meet **Dr. Jahangir Kabir**—a name that should echo with the same reverence as India’s famed **Dr. Devi Shetty**. While Dr. Shetty (with ~15,000 surgeries) is celebrated as a national hero in his country, how many of us truly recognize the brilliance of **our own legend**?
By 2023, **Dr. Jahangir Kabir had performed over 28,000 cardiac surgeries**—a staggering number that cements his place among the **elite heart surgeons globally**. Yet, how many documentaries honor him? How often do we highlight his team’s life-saving work?
### **Why Isn’t This Achievement Everywhere?**
There’s a quiet truth here: **India’s thriving medical tourism industry benefits when Bangladeshis seek treatment there**. If our people knew the caliber of surgeons like Dr. Jahangir, fewer would spend fortunes abroad. It’s time we **celebrate our heroes loudly**—not just for pride, but to keep our resources within our borders.
### **A Lesson from Malaysia’s Visionary Leader**
Remember **Mahathir Mohamad**, the architect of modern Malaysia? When he needed heart surgery, **he didn’t fly overseas**. Instead, he **built a world-class cardiac center at home** and had his operation there. That’s the kind of **self-reliance and trust in local expertise** we need.
### **Let’s Change the Narrative**
We have **world-class talent here**. It’s time to **recognize, appreciate, and uplift them**. Share this story. Talk about **Dr. Jahangir Kabir’s legacy**. Let’s ensure the next generation knows—**we don’t need to look beyond our borders for excellence**.
