Starting in April 2022, The AMCB Foundation will be providing monthly medical clinics at its medical facility and distribution center in Bikrampur Khilgaon in the Munshiganj District in Central Bangladesh for those villagers who can’t afford medical care. The first clinic occured on April 11, 2022. At that clinic, The AMCB Foundation provided eye treatment to over 60 patients at its facility in Bikrampur Khilgaon. This medical clinic was conducted in collaboration with the Asia Digital Eye Hospital of Dhaka City. Patients came from Bikrampur Khilgaon and several surrounding villages. The doctors treated a wide variety of eye ailments. In several cases they recommended follow up care, including preparing several patients for eye surgery. Volunteers are working on setting up further care for these patients. Please take a look at some of the photos below. If you wish to help us provide medical care and other essentials (such as blankets, food, clothing, and school supplies) to those in need, please donate. Every little bit helps.
