Message from The Chair of Trustees
The annual medical camps tour was the project that kick started International Health Development Foundation, formerly known as BHDI. After a pause of two years due to Covid, in the last year we have been able to take a team from the UK and deliver the annual medical camps all across Bangladesh. This was the biggest and most successful free medical camp tour so far with more camps held and more patients seen than ever before.
We have also been able to complete our cataract project. This has been an amazing project in which 1542 patients had life changing cataract surgery. We have continued our monthly clinics in Mohammadpur, Thakurgaon and Moulvibazar. These clinics help poor and needy people in those localities have regular access to free medical care.
The great work that we do is only possible through the generosity of our donors and the hard work of our team of volunteers. As ever we are eternally grateful to each and every one of our supporters, donors and volunteers. A special thank you also to the brothers from H&K Cycle Club whose fundraising has made the cataract project possible.

Plans for 2024

In Bangladesh we will still operate under the Bangladesh Health Development Initiative (BHDI) name.
In order to make the transition to an international charity successful, we will need the ongoing support of our volunteers and donors. Please come forward and support us in whatever way you can.
