SMC Clinic

Overview

SMC Clinic is a model outpatient clinic run by the Social Marketing Company at Darussalam in Dhaka. It works from SMC Tower-2 at 59/C, Darus Salam, Mirpur Road, Dhaka-1216. The Social Marketing Company opened the clinic in June 2021.

The clinic serves residents of Darussalam, Kallyanpur and the nearby blocks of Mirpur. Its work covers consultation, laboratory testing and a model pharmacy under one roof. It is an outpatient facility only, and no patient is admitted here for overnight care.

Services

General physicians see patients for everyday illness, fever and long-running complaints at the outpatient desk. Regular and executive health checkups are arranged for adults who want a planned review. Counselling is available for clients who need guidance, and adolescents can also use this service.

Essential vaccination and family planning services run as part of the daily work of the clinic. Pregnant mothers receive antenatal care here during pregnancy. Children below five years of age are followed through growth monitoring at the clinic. Home sample collection is arranged for senior citizens and for patients whose mobility is restricted.

Diagnostic Services

The clinic runs its own diagnostic laboratory inside the same premises. Samples given here are tested in that laboratory, and reports are issued through the clinic itself. The laboratory works as a counted service line of the clinic, not as a separate business renting space.

A model pharmacy works inside the clinic beside the consultation rooms. Medicines prescribed during a visit can be bought there directly, and vaccines and related health products are also stocked. A patient can therefore finish consultation, testing and medicine purchase within one visit to the building.

Specialist consultations

Consultants sit at the clinic in gynecology, medicine and pediatrics. Cardiology, endocrinology and orthopedics consultations are also held here on set days. Each sitting covers the subject named for it, and patients are seen in the outpatient rooms of the clinic.

Consultants sit in fixed morning or evening shifts, so the day and shift vary by subject. Patients should confirm the sitting day for the subject they need before travelling to Darussalam. Where a problem needs hospital care, the clinic's role remains consultation, and the patient is guided toward referral.
