“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 a part of the ‘SHN way’ that delivers inclusive health services with care and in a friendly atmosphere across all clinics.
Over the decades, Surjer Hashi Clinics have significantly impacted Bangladesh’s health, especially when public and private participation in this sector was limited.

The network, however, struggled later in its journey in minimizing the huge gap between high expenses and low income, a prerequisite to sustain without dependence, in the context of reduced donor funding. Since then, SHN has embarked on a challenging journey, having multiple commitments to provide quality service, give subsidies to the poor, and become financially sustainable. To succeed in this journey, SHN is unstoppable and continues to identify priorities to lay a strong foundation for a long-lasting impact.

Thanks to the guidance and strong support of SHN’s governing body and the commitment of our management team and employees at the Head Office and across the clinics. They have been instrumental in achieving significant progress towards sustainability.

We remember USAID with gratitude for supporting the network for about 2 decades.”
