Vision to develop human resource on health
There is obvious need to increase the number of skilled nurses and normalise the current reverse doctor-nurse ratio.
With a view to increasing the number of skilled nurses and improving their care, A K Khan Healthcare Trust, a non for profit organisation has taken initiative to train nurses working in different areas of healthcare in Bangladesh. The trust has been providing continuing nursing education through Nursing Bridge Programme.
Currently they are providing specialised hands on training to nurses in 12 hospitals in different divisions of Bangladesh.
Apart from this, they also provide training to midwifes in the slums to help in providing assistance for home deliveries to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality.
The trust has other activities including awareness and outreach programmes in slums specially designed to screen and treat early stages of cervical, breast and oral cancer in female.
