Healthcare Project In Bangladesh

Bangladesh is amongst those countries which are identified as one of those that have a severe lack of health workers. There are thousands of people in Bangladesh; rural areas in particular, are unable to afford the expenses of health care and medicines due to the imbalance in wealth distribution hence no support. As a result there are many vulnerable, elderly, children and infants are either suffering or will suffer from infections/diseases with no access to medical care and their only hope is for generous people to make donations. G&Y has been assisting poor families with healthcare support from the very beginning of G&Y, in particular in rural areas with treatment, operations, general treatment. Furthermore, G&Y have also helped people with Cataract operations and Blind people support. Additionally, we have also been supporting struggling families with their medical bills i.e. treatment or medications.

We have assisted 15 people with their individual operations and another 45 with general treatment along with medicines in 2016. We have also secured an ambulance which is on standby for any medical emergencies in the area, which is kept on the premises on one of our partner education institutions. The cost of an operation is around £3,000 on average and for general treatment is approximately £200. We have in place monthly healthcare support for the elderly and other groups in medical need. Our primary objective is to create a foundation for a medical camp in which there will be a stable and efficient lifeline for people who are in major need. We also hope to assist those who are in critical condition and require medicine and reach out to those who are in areas which are inaccessible.
