Kuwait
Bangladesh
Friendship
Hospital
or
Kuwait
Friendship
Hospital
is
a
government
hospital
located
in
Dhaka,
Bangladesh.
The
hospital
was
established
with
funding
from
the
Kuwait
Joint
Relief
Committee.
This
is
the
first
hospital
to
provide
medical
services
to
corona
patients
as
prescribed
by
the
Bangladesh
government.
Kuwait
Bangladesh
Friendship
Hospital
is
located
on
Isha
Khan
Road,
Sector
6,
Uttara,
Dhaka.
The
hospital
is
located
behind
RAJUK
Uttara
Model
College.
On
June
10,
2001,
the
then
Prime
Minister
Sheikh
Hasina
inaugurated
the
Kuwait-Bangladesh
Friendship
Hospital.
In
2002,
the
Kuwait
Joint
Relief
Committee
stopped
funding
the
hospital,
citing
a
financial
crisis.
On
December
16,
2002,
the
Ministry
of
Health
transferred
the
responsibility
of
the
hospital
to
the
American
Hospital
Consortium
through
an
agreement.
One
of
the
terms
of
the
agreement
was
to
upgrade
the
hospital
to
international
standards
by
June
30,
2008.
But
the
American
Hospital
Consortium
failed
to
do
so.
The
hospital
authorities
then
resorted
to
the
court
to
take
over
the
management
of
the
hospital,
leaving
the
matter
of
cancellation
of
the
lease
agreement
pending.
The
hospital
was
later
reopened
under
the
management
of
the
Ministry
of
Health.
As
of
May
2020,
the
hospital
has
200
beds.
There
are
26
ICU
beds.
The
hospital
has
95
doctors
and
113
nurses.
There
are
three
Ayurvedic
doctors
in
charge
of
this
hospital.
Various
services
are
provided
here
in
about
22
departments
including
operation
theater,
ICU,
examination
department,
cabin,
ward,
outpatient
department
and
emergency
department.
The
government
of
Bangladesh
was
the
first
to
designate
this
hospital
for
the
treatment
of
corona
patients.
This
hospital
is
known
as
one
of
the
major
centers
for
coronavirus
treatment
in
Bangladesh.
