In a country where chronic pain and autoimmune diseases often go undertreated or misunderstood, one physician is reshaping the future of care. Dr. Monzur A. Khoda, Bangladesh’s first Interventional Rheumatologist, is pioneering a new era of healing—one that blends advanced regenerative medicine with holistic, patient-centered care.Based in Dhaka, Dr. Khoda has become a trusted name for patients suffering from complex autoimmune disorders, chronic joint pain, and musculoskeletal diseases. His work represents a bold shift away from symptom suppression toward long-term restoration and natural healing.
From Medical Graduate to Global Specialist
Dr. Khoda’s medical journey began in Bangladesh, where he completed his MBBS from Rajshahi Medical College & Hospital in 2014. Early in his career, he showed a strong inclination toward internal medicine, which led him to pursue advanced training in the United Kingdom.In 2019, he achieved MRCP (Internal Medicine) from the Royal College of Physicians, London, a prestigious qualification that marked the foundation of his subspecialty training. Over the next five years, Dr. Khoda trained intensively in the UK and Europe, working alongside leading rheumatologists and pain specialists.
Bringing Regenerative Medicine Home to Bangladesh
Despite having opportunities abroad, Dr. Khoda made a deliberate decision to return to Bangladesh. What he encountered was a healthcare system with limited access to advanced pain management and regenerative therapies, particularly for autoimmune and degenerative conditions.Introducing these treatments was not easy. Regenerative medicine was largely unfamiliar to both patients and many clinicians. Skepticism was common. Yet Dr. Khoda remained steadfast, guided by evidence-based science and his belief that Bangladeshi patients deserved the same standard of care available in developed nations.His perseverance paid off.
International Credentials and Global Recognition
Dr. Khoda’s expertise is backed by globally recognized credentials. In 2025, he achieved:
- Membership of the American College of Physicians (MACP, USA)
- Diplomate of the American Board of Regenerative Medicine (DABRM, USA)
These distinctions established him as a leading authority in regenerative and interventional rheumatology, not only in Bangladesh but across the region.The same year, he was honored with the Asia’s Icon Awards 2025 as a Pioneer in Regenerative Medicine, following the publication of his research on knee osteoarthritis successfully treated with stem cells and PRP—a non-surgical approach that has transformed pain relief for countless patients.
