Our Mobile Clinic started operations in February 2024. The background to this is that many people in Dhaka are so poor that they cannot afford transport to our medical center. So they live in the city where they could also receive medical care – and yet have no opportunity to take advantage of these services. To ensure that these people have access to basic medical care, we take our Mobile Clinic to where they live.
Six days a week, between Saturday and Thursday, the team travels to various poor districts in Dhaka. The team currently consists of a doctor, a pharmacist, a driver and a person who takes the patients’ data, measures their temperature and weight and coordinates the process. The data is recorded on the “Health Card”, which every patient receives, so that the information is available at the next doctor’s visit. On the second day of the Mobile Clinic, more than 50 patients were already receiving medical care in the Korail slum. The need is therefore enormous.
Since September 2024, the Mobile Clinic team has also been regularly supported by volunteer doctors from Austria and Europe.
The following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being promoted with the help of this project:
The local NGO responsible is our long-standing partner “Glory Future Model School”. Together with this partner, we also run schools and a training center in Dhaka.
