Chief Executive Officer, SHN

“I am always excited to continue this journey with Surjer Hashi Network (SHN) – a health care not-for-profit organization. I feel proud deep inside to be part of the ‘SHN way,’ which delivers inclusive health services with care and in a friendly atmosphere across all our clinics.
Over the decades, Surjer Hashi Clinics have impacted Bangladesh’s healthcare, especially when public and private participation in this sector was limited. We gratefully remember USAID for its critical support in those days.

Later in its journey, however, the network struggled in the reality of reduced donor funding. Removing inefficiencies and reducing the gap between high expenses and low revenue became necessary as a prerequisite for long-lasting sustainability. Since then, SHN has embarked on a challenging journey with multiple commitments to provide quality services, offer subsidies to the poor, and achieve sustainability simultaneously. The energetic management team, blessed by a supportive governing body, continues to identify priorities and has been putting its best effort into laying a strong foundation for a long-lasting impact.

We are grateful to all our clients and other stakeholders, including the government of Bangladesh, for trusting in Surjer Hashi Network for decades.”
