Cancer hospital after Humayun's name
Our beloved writer Humayun Ahmed breathed his last in a New York hospital on July 19, after a prolonged fight against cancer. His untimely and abrupt demise came as a terrible shock to the entire nation. He had to stay in a foreign country and spend a big amount of money for the treatment of the deadly disease. During his last days, he expressed his desire to establish a cancer hospital in Bangladesh so that our people need not go outside the country for highly expensive cancer treatment. To materialise his dream, we can establish a cancer hospital in his memory. The hospital may be named as 'Humayun Ahmed Cancer Hospital' and established preferably at or near Nuhash Polli in Gazipur.
A 'Trust' may be formed with renowned personalities of the country as its members. The Trust may raise necessary funds by collecting donations from all sections of the people and organisations. The government may also provide funds and necessary logistic support for the construction of a modern world class cancer hospital. It may be hoped that millions of well-wishers and admirers of Humayun Ahmed will extend their whole-hearted co-operation to make their favourite writer's dream a reality.
