Message from Country Director
Hallelujah!
The medical ministry in Karamtola, Bangladesh, began in 1974 when Dr. Herbert Codington, an American doctor, started working with people in the slum of Tongi Ershad Nagar.
It has been 30 years since we moved to the village of Karamtola, Pubail Union. The year 2022 was not completely over with the corona virus problem, but it was a pretty quick recovery year.
We installed a patient elevator, and started a 24-hour emergency room. The operating room was renovated by connecting the ophthalmology wing with the main hospital building. In addition, the obstetrics & gynecology department and delivery room were moved to a new, independent space. Since September, we have recruited the Medical Director, and are preparing for hospital registration. Now, after the renovation for inpatients on the 3rd floor, it will grow into an important hospital for the community.
I would like to thank the Korean supporters, the Board of Hospital, and all the staff for their hard work.
