| Organization Description: | |
| The Centre for Woman and Child Health (CWCH) is dedicated to the welfare of vulnerable populations everywhere, by finding solutions through active engagement in their day-to-day health and nutrition problems. We do this by always working closely with families both in their communities and in the hospital setting with just, ethical and compassionate values. Our objectives are health care services, research, advocacy and training all geared towards improving the lives of women and children. BRIEF HISTORY In 2002, a small group of Bangladeshi entrepreneurs and medical professionals, concerned by high rates of maternal, neonatal and child mortality, disease and malnutrition in Bangladesh, founded the Centre for Woman and Child Heath (CWCH), to address these issues with the MDGs as shared targets. The Centre is non-profit and philanthropic and is located on 3.76 acres of land donated by one of the founders in Ashulia - the heartland of the Bangladesh garments industry, about 28 km northwest of Dhaka Metropolitan Area. The same founder has donated approximately US$3 million for construction, in phases, of a 150 bed hospital - with plans, in the future, to expand to a 250 bed hospital with nursing and medical schools. MISSION STATEMENT MAJOR ACTIVITIES We see as many as 500 to 1,000 patients in our busy outpatient department and deliver about 1,200 babies a year. We cater to most medical specialties including Paediatrics, OBGYN, Internal medicine, Geriatric care, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Dermatology and Dentistry and have about 80 doctors working in shifts to keep the hospital open 365 days a year. exposed We have active community based public health research programmes in childhood malnutrition, infant and young child feeding (IYCF), garments worker TB, childhood TB, childhood overweight/obesity and non-communicable disease (NCD). All our research is geared towards informing and enhancing national public health programmes. Our centre is also involved in national policy making and prof |
