Prof. Dr. Ismat Ara Haider (Lita)
Professor & Head, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) VICE PRINCIPAL
Sapporo Dental College & Hospital
It is a great honour and privilege to serve as the Vice Principal of Sapporo Dental College & Hospital, an institution built upon a vision of academic excellence, professional integrity, humanitarian values, and commitment to quality healthcare.
Over the past twenty-five years, Sapporo Dental College & Hospital has established itself as a distinguished name in dental education and healthcare in Bangladesh. From its humble beginning, the institution has grown into a vibrant academic community, nurturing generations of dental professionals and contributing to the advancement of oral healthcare in the country. This remarkable journey reflects the dedication, foresight, and collective efforts of its founders, faculty members, students, alumni, and administrative staff.
As we move forward, our responsibility extends beyond imparting knowledge and clinical skills. Dental education must develop competent, ethical, compassionate, and socially responsible professionals who understand the importance of serving humanity. We must ensure that our graduates are equipped not only with sound scientific knowledge and clinical expertise but also with empathy, integrity, critical thinking, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
In an era of rapidly advancing medical science and technology, maintaining high academic standards, strengthening clinical training, encouraging research and innovation, and embracing modern educational approaches are essential. We remain committed to creating an environment where students can explore their potential, develop leadership qualities, engage in scientific inquiry, and prepare themselves to meet both national and global healthcare challenges.
I firmly believe that the strength of an educational institution lies in its people. A collaborative academic environment, dedicated teachers, motivated students, supportive guardians, and strong institutional governance are the foundations of sustainable progress. Together, we must continue building a culture of discipline, mutual respect, accountability, and excellence.
As Vice Principal, I look forward to working collaboratively with the Principal, Chairman, management, faculty members, students, alumni, and all stakeholders to uphold the founding vision of Sapporo Dental College & Hospital and take the institution to new heights.
Let us continue our journey with a shared commitment to excellence in education, advancement in research, quality patient care, and service to humanity.
Our vision is not merely to produce dental graduates, but to nurture responsible professionals who will make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
With best wishes for a brighter future for Sapporo Dental College & Hospital.
