Eight ways the work reaches beyond the hospital

Free health camps for rural women
16 camps across the Chattogram district
Free health camps organised in Potiya, Boalkhali, Anwara, Banshkhali, Mirersharai and other upazilas, screening rural women aged 15 and above for breast cancer. The camps have had a real impact in raising awareness and getting women into treatment early, in communities where a hospital visit is often out of reach.

Weekend service in his home village
Serving the people he grew up with
Every weekend, Dr. Chakraborty returns to his home village to see patients and support families. Beyond health, distressed families in the community need many kinds of help — so the work extends to education support and to social and moral encouragement wherever it is needed.
Educational materials for rural children
Books and supplies for village schools
Providing books, stationery and school materials to children in rural schools. As he puts it, their happy faces give an amazing feeling of satisfaction — and an education is the one gift that keeps returning to a family.
Organising the youth
Working with young volunteers
Young people are the prime force behind any large social effort — clothing drives, poverty relief and work towards social equity. Group discussion and an exchange of views with young volunteers solves many problems, brings fresh ideas, and narrows the gap between generations.
Work for a green environment
Tree plantation and wildlife awareness
Preservation of green is the way to secure a green life. Every year, in collaboration with different organisations including the Rotary Club of Chittagong Sagorika, saplings are distributed to schools and villagers, and rural communities are encouraged to protect wildlife and nature.
Blood grouping and donor motivation
With Sandhani, Chittagong Medical College unit
Blood grouping camps and donor motivation programmes carried out with student volunteers — because in trauma care, the blood that saves a life has to already be in the bank when the patient arrives.
Disaster relief and clothing distribution
Reaching families after floods and landslides
Relief and clothing distribution with teams of volunteers in hill and coastal communities after floods and landslides, carrying supplies to places vehicles cannot reach.
