In the heart of Dhaka, where advanced medical science meets the realities of chronic illness, one physician is redefining how autoimmune diseases and chronic pain are treated in Bangladesh. Dr. Monzur A. Khoda, Bangladesh’s first Interventional Rheumatologist, is leading a transformative movement in regenerative medicine, offering hope to patients who once had limited treatment options.Through innovation, international expertise, and a deeply holistic philosophy, Dr. Khoda is changing lives—without overreliance on surgery or long-term medications.
A Visionary in Autoimmune and Pain Management
Autoimmune diseases such as lupus, vasculitis, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis affect millions worldwide. In Bangladesh, access to advanced, targeted therapies has historically been limited. Dr. Khoda recognized this gap early and committed himself to bridging it using cutting-edge regenerative and biologic treatments.Today, he is widely regarded as one of the most progressive figures in rheumatology and pain medicine in the country.

Dr. Monzur A. Khoda completed his MBBS from Rajshahi Medical College & Hospital in 2014. Driven by a passion for internal medicine and complex autoimmune disorders, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he underwent intensive postgraduate training.In 2019, he achieved MRCP (Internal Medicine) from the Royal College of Physicians, London—a globally respected qualification. Over five years of clinical training in the UK and Europe, he worked closely with leading specialists and gained hands-on experience in managing complex rheumatological conditions.It was during this time that Dr. Khoda developed a strong interest in regenerative medicine, including stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for joint and musculoskeletal diseases.
Bringing Advanced Rheumatology Back to Bangladesh
Returning to Bangladesh, Dr. Khoda faced significant challenges. Regenerative medicine was still poorly understood, and skepticism existed within both the public and medical communities. However, his belief in evidence-based innovation pushed him forward.His determination paid off.In 2025, Dr. Khoda earned:MACP (USA) – Membership of the American College of PhysiciansDABRM (USA) – Diplomate of the American Board of Regenerative MedicineThese achievements firmly established him as a national pioneer in regenerative and interventional rheumatology.
