Project Implementation Period
- Date of commencement: July 2008
- Date of completion: June 2013
Implementation of the project: The project is being implemented by Directorate of Health Services and ENT and Head Neck Cancer Foundation with supervision from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Bangladesh.
Project Output:
Five storied hospital building with 50 beds (30% of the total facilities will be free of charge for the poor patients) completed extendable to 12 storied above ground level with two basement floor. Procurement of medical equipment is being processed.
Future Plans:
ENT & Head Neck Cancer Foundation is now running a 50 bed hospital in the newly constructed building at Sher-e Bangla Nagar, Dhaka. Indoor, Outdoor, Investigation and operation facilities are being provided there. However the hospital cannot function properly due to a lack of 2 passengers cum bed lifts and a generator. Moreover, existing 5 storied building is needed to be extended vertically up to 12 stories according to the original plan approved by the Department of Architecture. Due to limited resources, further construction has yet to be started in order to complete the 100 bed hospital as per approved plan. A further 7 floors is required to be constructed on top of the existing structure.
The Hospital cannot run properly due to a lack of some urgently needed machinery and equipment. Radiology and imaging unit, Pathology/Laboratory, ICU are yet to be set-up in the Hospital. A cancer treatment unit is also required to be established. These activities cannot be managed due to a lack of funds.
