Message
It is my pleasure
to know that the Imdad-Sitara Khan Foundation
is going to launch its first dialysis
center in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am a
well-wisher and am very much looking
forward to supporting this program in
Bangladesh. It is going to be an opportunity
for me to serve the under privileged
patients in Bangladesh throughadvising,
remote consultancy or direct participation.
I spent two years in Bangladesh in the
early 1980's and any positive efforts
for the betterment of Bangladesh makes
me personally and professionally quite
proud.
I wish ORCA-USA, the US nonprofit organization
that has undertaken this noble project,
all success and hope this program will
make a tangiable impact on Bangladesh's
kidney related treatments, especially
for patients who live far from Dhaka.
