Who We Are

Mohammad Ruman Editor, Researcher & Founder — Healthy Bangladesh
Mohammad Ruman serves as the founder, researcher, and editor of Healthy Bangladesh (rumanwellness.com). Basically, the platform was established to address the scarcity of health information tailored to the local climate, economy, and dietary habits of Bangladeshis, as existing resources often prioritize Western perspectives. To ensure clinical relevance and accuracy, Mr. Ruman rigorously evaluates every article against peer-reviewed literature, guidelines from the WHO and ICDDR,B, and localized health data. Furthermore, all content adheres to a comprehensive six-point editorial verification process to maintain the highest standards of evidence-based practice.
Every article on Healthy Bangladesh is built on a foundation of primary clinical sources. Our research hierarchy:
Named clinical experts — We cite named, credentialed experts and their published research to ensure every article is accurate, reliable, and evidence-based.
Peer-reviewed research — We prioritize high-quality research, focusing on PubMed/NIH, Cochrane Reviews, the British Medical Journal, and The Lancet. Our methodology emphasizes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews to ensure the highest level of clinical evidence.
Bangladesh national health data — ICDDR,B, BIRDEM, DGHS, MOHFW, and NIMH Bangladesh.
International health authority guidelines — WHO, CDC, NHS, AHA, and ACSM.
We prioritize empirical data over anecdotes, unsubstantiated brand claims, influencer advice, and social media trends. Consequently, every health claim presented on this platform is meticulously substantiated by published, citable, and peer-reviewed sources.
