PROJECT RATIONALE

210,581 freedom fighters joined the liberation war. Many of them came forward to liberate Bangladesh willingly or unwillingly, because it was their country.

A two-storey was constructed in . It was later turned into the Trust Adhunik Hospital in December 1991, aiming at providing freedom fighters with healthcare and subsidised treatment for their families.

Initially, the hospital was functioning well, but soon due to unknown reasons it was leased out to Umma Medical College Hospital, a non-government organization, on January 15, 1994 for ten years.

However, the contract was scraped in 1997 and later the hospital was leased out to Captain Mansur Ali Medical College Hospital which ran until 1999. Since then the hospital has remained closed.

There is enough fund, furniture and equipment to run the hospital, yet why has it been kept closed over the years? wondered some freedom fighters.
