FUTURE PROJECTS

5. Mother and Child Healthcare: Mother and child healthcare is the highest priority in poverty health care. On the one hand it is the most cost effective. On the other hand it has the largest teaching component and is the most effective in promoting health, nutrition, hygiene and family planning awareness.

6. Diabetes Treatment: Diabetes mellitus is a major global health problem, affecting 382 million people, accounting for 5.3 million deaths in 2013. By 2035 the number of affected people is expected to increase to 592 million globally. About 80% of adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries. Diabetes has become the seventh leading attributable risk factor for burden of disease in South Asian countries. Previously diabetes was a disease of the affluent, but now it has become a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, particularly affecting South Asians. The economic and disease burden associated with non-communicable diseases especially diabetes puts enormous pressure on fragile health systems in low-income countries. In the South Asian region, Bangladesh has the second largest number of adults with diabetes (5.1 million adults, 6.31%). Therefore, understanding the extent to which households or populations are not being diagnosed, treated, and controlling their diabetes condition may reveal opportunities to reduce premature death, disability, and household economic shock.

7. Eye and Dental Camp: Initiative of annual or bi-annual Eye and Dental Camp could not be initiated due to lack of necessary monetary support and financial sponsors.

9. In need of trained Staff Members, Internee doctor and Specialist: These projects need approximately 60-70 staff members, many of them will be trained, enabling the project to continue running smoothly. All staff will take part in weekly training sessions, run by the senior paramedics. Also will require There are internee doctors and specialist as needed from the local Medical College and Hospital.

8. TB Program: Bangladesh has the world’s sixth largest TB problem. Prevalence is estimated to be 404 per 100,000 population. The national DOTS (Direct Observation Treatment, Short Term) program is now able to concentrate on MDR (multiple drug resistance), child, sputum negative and extra-pulmonary TB. Disease prevention is by poverty alleviation, health education, treatment of infected cases and BCG (for prevention of life-threatening childhood cases).

Treatment is six months (eight months for retreatment patients) which must be followed correctly (under observation) to prevent MDR which in Bangladesh is currently 1.4% in new cases and 29% in previously treated cases (World Health Organization, 2016). The National TB program has a culture and sensitivity screening system for suspect MDR patients followed up by referral for specialized management.​

9. Lodging and Food: Reasonable accommodations should be provided, when need for those patients are requires minor surgery and post-operative treatments. And also the need to provide reasonable accommodations to those patients unsupervised children.

10. Pure Water: Finding a supply of pure water is an everyday problem for coastal villagers. The high level of salinity in groundwater in coastal areas makes it undrinkable. For the same reason, river water is also unusable. Ponds and water tanks have been set up by the government and aid agencies like Caritas to preserve rainwater for filtering and daily use in some villages. The system is inadequate but villagers try to keep their body and soul together with what they have. The problem reaches boiling point during winter and summer when rainfall stops and most of the surface water sources dry up.

Currently financial sponsors are required to manage the above issues on real basis.

Our future goals are to expand the healthcare services to other remote areas of Bangladesh and surrounding South Asian countries like India,  Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and Afghanistan and Also Africa.
