BADAS – A MAJOR GENERAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IN THE COUNTRY

Due to the inherent nature of diabetes mellitus as a generalized disorder(and not a single disease) and due to the great demand in the society for using good quality medical services, the facilities of BADAS are open to non diabetic patients although diabetic persons get priority and certain privileges. With some variation among individual Enterprises/ AAs about 30 to 40% of patients attending BADAS OPD/IPD facilities are non diabetic and the proportion is even higher in case of people seeking diagnostic services. In recent year BADAS has taken a special pilot project named as Health Care Development Project (HCDP) with the aim of transforming the diabetes health care model of BADAS to a sustainable General Health Care Model in the Bangladesh context.

HCDP includes network of hospitals and health centers in an around Dhaka as well as in north-western part of Bangladesh. During FY 2008-09 almost all of the hospitals and health centers of HCDP started functioning only partially in case of the Pabna Swasthoseba Hospital, North Bengal Medical College Hospital in Sirajganj and BIHS hospital in Dhaka

A large poportion of OPD and IPD patients are also receiving general health care in the Ibrahim General Hospitals of NHN and ICHRI
