Health care in Bangladesh is in a shambles. While the well off minority can afford to get some degree of care, that too not always the best, the poor have to grapple with low quality health services that are often out of reach. In the rural areas it is much worse where getting hold of even an MBBS doctor can be quite a challenge. Conditions of the upazila health complexes established to take health services to the poor rural people are in a pitiful state. Absence of doctors, unusable essential medical equipment and or lack of medicine has turned most of them into deserted places. More people die from lack of treatment than bad treatment in these rural areas.
Rahman Knit Garments Ltd has streamlined its corporate philanthropic efforts by providing state-of-the-art medical facilities at low cost to thousands of poor and needy patients of a number of remote villages in Brahmanbaria district.
The 65-bed 'Mahbubur Rahman Memorial Hospital,' a sister concern of Rahman Knit Garments Ltd, at Rupasdi under Banchharampur upa-zilla in the district vows to be a catalyst in promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) through poverty alleviation.
On February 19, Rahman Knit Garments Ltd bagged the Standard Chartered-Financial Express Corporate Social Responsibility Award, 2008 in a special category. The Award is the top recognition in the country's CSR arena.
Established with an investment of Tk 85 million in August of 2006, the hospital has already earned a reputation for providing quality medicare to the poor patients of villages in and around Banchharampur upa-zila in Brahmanbaria district.
On an average, some 80 to 100 patients get treatment daily in the hospital.
The modern three storied-hospital has set a rare example of poverty alleviation also as many poor patients are getting quality services at an affordable cost.
