On the third day of her visit to Japan, prominent cardiologist and spouse of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, visited several key healthcare, elderly care, and cultural institutions across Tokyo on Wednesday (October 28). Her full-day itinerary included inspections of a specialized clinic, a community-based home-care nursing facility, and the Tokyo National Museum, concluding with a courtesy meeting with Princess Takamado of the Japanese Imperial Family.
Dr. Zubaida began her morning schedule by visiting the Fujita Health University Haneda Clinic, situated in Haneda Innovation City, Tokyo.

She toured the nursing and rehabilitation facilities and engaged in discussions with healthcare workers regarding community elder-care models.
