Abstract:
K-Force Major General Khaled Mosharraf, Sector 2's commanding officer, was operating in this region. Bangladesh Field Hospital was the name he gave it. Wounded independence fighters were treated in the hospital's 480 beds from the outset.
The government of Bangladesh, a newly independent nation, had taken issue with the moniker "Bangladesh Field Hospital." Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman advocated that the name and structure of the organization be changed in order to make it more accessible.
When the subject of Gonoshasthaya Kendra was brought up, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman said Zafrullah, "Ganasasthtya Kendra would have to focus on health, agriculture, and education,"
Among the generous donations were land contributed by Zohra Begum, MA Rab, a joint secretary, and Lutfor Rahman from their Savar family lands; Sheikh Mujibur Rahman negotiated for an additional 23 acres of property. The Gonoshasthaya Kendra was founded in 1972 in this manner.
In 2018, the hospital employs 2,500 workers, with 40% of those employees being female.
Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury is a public health activist in Bangladesh who has improved rural people's access to medical treatment by establishing Gonoshashashaya Kendra (GK, The People's Health Centre). Since its start in 1972, when Chowdhury and his colleagues founded the center, it has emphasized autonomous, self-reliant, and people-oriented growth.
Gonoshasthaya Kendra is opening heart and transplant surgery facilities at its Nagar Hospital in Dhanmondi, the capital, in order to provide cheap healthcare to the general populace.
