World Radiotherapy Awareness Day shared on LinkedIn:
“Bangladesh came together for World Radiotherapy Awareness Day 2026!
From educating students and healthcare professionals to engaging patients and encouraging scientific discussion, WRAD activities across Bangladesh demonstrated the many ways we can raise awareness of radiotherapy.
Our three Regional Champions Arman Reza Chowdhury, Bhaskar Chakraborty and Jobairul Islam, each contributed to this effort through educational sessions, outreach to radiotherapy centres, patient engagement and professional learning.
One particularly meaningful moment came when a patient approached Arman after his talk to share how clear and reassuring he had found the information about cancer and radiotherapy.
A wonderful reminder that raising awareness isn’t just about reaching more people. It’s about helping people better understand radiotherapy and its role in cancer care.
Thank you to our three Regional Champions and everyone across Bangladesh who supported WRAD 2026.
