Many seminars/ workshops have been conducted by the BSMM on different current concerns in Medical Microbiology.

The fourth Executive Committee (2007-2009) recommended a proposal for publication of a Scientific Journal by the society and finally a journal in the name of “Bangladesh Journal of Medical Microbiologists (BJMM)” is now being published biennially.

The BSMM has a long way to go. The scientific basis of the society needs to be formed up strongly providing a caring nursery to the members as well as to countrymen. Well wishers are requested to provide their sincere and optimized proposals to build up the body into a well-harmonized, internationally reputed professional organization.
