Eye hospital

The hospital with all facilities are placed in a rented residential building situated in the main Sat Masjid Road, Lalmatia, Dhaka. The limited available space often remains overcrowded and even patients keep on waiting in a small space for their turn to see the doctors. With a view to setting up a modern hospital with all facilities and offering treatment at a nominal cost the management approached the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Dhaka City Corporation and RAJUK for a suitable plot of land in the city but without any result as they do not have adequate resources to finance purchase of a piece of land from any private owner at a high cost. It is a non-government organisation mainly funded by individual donors and institutions and, therefore, their limited resources are meant for mitigating sufferings of poor patients and making improvement of service standard.

In view of the above, I would make an appeal to both the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Ministry of Housing and Public Works to make an allotment of a plot of land in the name of the hospital at government price solely for the purpose of construction of a modern eye hospital building. If necessary a survey of the hospital's existing activities may be conducted by any agency of government's choice. It is firmly believed that such an organisation needs support and patronage of the government in view of their rendering valuable services to general public ceaselessly and a little lean forward shall boost their expansion programme for a humanitarian cause.
