Introduction: In Bangladesh, the battle for health and well-being is ongoing, especially for those trapped in the cycle of poverty. Limited access to medical services and the burden of high healthcare costs exacerbate the challenges faced by the economically disadvantaged. Our Healthcare Program aims to address these pressing issues head-on by establishing accessible and affordable healthcare solutions across the nation.
Healthcare: A healthy society is essential for the development of a country. Ill-health impedes development activities and becomes a burden to families and society, contributing significantly to poverty. In Bangladesh, accessing health and nutrition services is challenging for the poor. Many, especially the economically disadvantaged, avoid seeking medical attention due to the high costs associated with healthcare. On average, less than 1.0 percent of the population has health coverage, protecting them from catastrophic health expenditures. Approximately 3.8 percent of the total population, or 6.0 million people, fall into poverty annually due to out-of-pocket payments for health services. Support from various donor agencies provides life-saving medical care to those who would otherwise lack access to even the most basic services.
What We Do: The cornerstone of our healthcare program lies in established primary medical healthcare centers strategically located in key areas such as Dhaka, Savar, and Kusthia. These centers serve as beacons of hope, offering a wide range of medical services, including consultations, diagnostics, preventive care, and treatment for common ailments. By decentralizing healthcare services and making them readily available, we ensure that no one is left behind due to geographical or financial constraints. Additionally, our commitment to inclusivity extends to the Disability Health and Physiotherapy Center in Sylhet. Here, individuals with disabilities receive specialized care tailored to their unique needs. Through rehabilitation programs and support for social inclusion, we empower them to overcome obstacles and lead fulfilling lives.
The Impact: It’s incredibly inspiring to see the impact our program has had over the past decade. Serving 165,700 families over ten years is no small feat, and the potential for transformation within these communities is immense. By bridging the healthcare gap and providing essential services, we’re not just addressing immediate medical needs but also enabling families to break free from the cycle of poverty and illness. Access to affordable healthcare is fundamental to a thriving society. When families don’t have to choose between seeking medical attention and financial stability, they can invest more in their well-being and future. Children can attend school regularly, knowing that their health needs are taken care of, which in turn enhances their learning and development. As a result, communities become healthier, more educated, and more resilient.
