Imdad-Sitara Khan Foundation – a
non-profit organization registered under the
Society Registration Act, 1860 – has stabilized 9 Kidney dialysis Centers to
facilitate End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) treatment to the financially
challenged patients of Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh thousands of kidney patients die every year due to inadequate
dialysis facility. Sadly enough, thousands of poor kidney patients cannot
even afford such treatment due to its exorbitant cost. Moreover, hinterland
patients cannot even reach these scarce kidney centers, which are only
available in major cities.
According to Bangladesh Kidney Foundation’s statistics, every year about
forty thousand people suffer from renal failure. Due to various problems of
kidney transplant, now a days, haemodialysis is the only option for survival
of End State Renal Failure (ESRF) patients. In Bangladesh, unfortunately,
the dialysis facility is limited to a few major cities and is highly
expensive and inadequate. An ESRF patient needs 3 haemodialysis per week for
normal function. But due to its exorbitant cost and non-availability in
hinterland towns, thousands of patients cannot even afford dialysis. Due to
its high cost many patients are compelled to compromise on the number of
dialysis and many families are economically crippled and turning destitute
to meet the high cost of treatment.
In view of the above sufferings of poor patients and driven by the feeling
“to pay back to motherland”, Old Rajshahi Cadets Association USA – Chapter
(ORCA -USA), organizations of expatriate Bangladeshis in the USA, planned to
set up kidney centers in Bangladesh and approached ‘Khan Family Foundation’,
Saratoga, CA, USA for additional help. It may be mentioned that ORCA-USA in
coordination with ORCA in Bangladesh has been implementing numerous charity
projects in Bangladesh.
The Khan Family Foundation established in the USA in 2003 by expatriate
Bangladeshi Dr. Imdad H. Khan and his wife Mrs Sitara A. Khan have donated
funds to many philanthropic organizations worldwide. In Bangladesh it has
funded scholarships to meritorious but needy students for studying
engineering, medicine and science.
Under the patronage of Khan Family Foundation, a trust named “Imdad-Sitara
Khan Foundation” was established in Bangladesh to carry out the
philanthropic activities. Imdad Sitara Khan Foundation (ISKF) is funding to
establish kidney centers in district towns throughout Bangladesh. Inspired
by this noble cause, the Independent Dialysis Foundation Inc, Maryland, USA
has donated 39 dialysis machines to ORCA- USA to the Imdad Sitara Khan
Kidney Centers in Bangladesh,which run on a non-profit basis.
Starting its operation in 2006, ISKF to date has set up 9 kidney dialysis
centers, one each in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Bogra, Kushtia, Dinajpur,
Moulvibazar, Chittagong, Barisal and Khulna. Although at the beginning it
relied only on Khan Family Foundation, USA, for its funding, from 2009 it
was able to garner financial support from more individuals and
organizations, International and local, to expand its network in Bangladesh.
