Why are we building a maternity hospital?

Our belief is that prevention is better than cure, which is why we have decided to build a maternity hospital that will provide excellent healthcare to prevent illnesses and save lives. Childbirth is undoubtedly one of the toughest times for our sisters, and unfortunately, adequate medical care is very rare in poorer countries.

Our aim is to provide our sisters with the best care and support during this challenging time.

How many fatalities every year in Bangladesh?

The maternal death rate is still very high in Bangladesh compared to other countries. Every year, approximately 8,000 women lose their lives due to various pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. Unfortunately, these are only the deaths that have been officially registered. In remote villages, the figure is likely much higher, with many deaths going unreported. Maternity hospitals in Bangladesh, especially in the city of Sylhet, are very few, with limited services provided. We aspire to build a hospital in an area that will serve the poorest and most deprived people.
