Along the Mirpur road in Dhaka the Diabetic Association Bangladesh (DAB) has founded a 250 bed hospital. The extension of the hospital to 500 beds has been planned and will be realized by adding 6 extra floors to the facility.
Next to the hospital a building for a laboratory facility is under construction.
The biggest challenge the DAB foundation faces is the fact that it is difficult to recruit qualified staff and docters.
They have decided to start the Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) on the same site. A third building will appear with teaching facilities, library, restaurant, apartments for docters and students. Even a school of the participant’s children will be realized.
