HEALTHCARE INNOVATIVE PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION: “Innovation in healthcare” refers to the process of introducing new ideas that improve the delivery of care, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize operational efficiency. As a charity organization, by “Innovation”, we really mean that how close can we reach an inaccessible area in rural Bangladesh with quality & affordable health care services.

Innovation is not limited to grand ideas; it encompasses a mindset of curiosity, flexibility, and the pursuit of excellence in healthcare delivery. Now -a -days the telemedicine, electronic health record, implementing 3D printing to develop organ model etc. are the technical healthcare innovation but still out of reach of the marginal people of rural Bangladesh.

[01] HOSPITAL TRAIN PROJECT 

INTRODUCTION: A hospital train is a railway train with carriages equipped for the provision of healthcare. Historically this has ranged from trains equipped to transport wounded soldiers, with basic nursing and first aid facilities on board, to fully equipped mobile medical centers, sometimes including operating theatres and nursing wards, all the supplies related more to the accommodation and comfort of the troops.  Currently operating hospital trains are from Russia (2010), Malta, Mexico, India (Lifeline express for healthcare, 1991), Chinese eye hospital trains (September, 2022), South Africa [Phelophepa-(good, clean health) Trains, 1994], French Hospital train (in March 2020 to transport COVID-19 patients to hospitals),

OBJECTIVES:  [a] The rural disabled cannot reach a hospital, the hospital train goes to them. [b] It is an outreach program for inaccessible rural areas where medical services are not available. [c]To provide the diagnostic, medical and advanced surgical treatment for preventive and curative interventions for those who are in healthcare need.

The total length of the Bangladesh Railway is 3,600 kilometers with an extensive network crossing almost all the 64 districts in Bangladesh. Some compartments of the train will be transformed into a full-fledged Hospital facility unit including adequately trained manpower, modern medical equipment, and accessories to conduct surgery and treatment of patients with disabilities.

The hospital train project is innovative but challenging task at the same time. The challenges include diversification and expansion of the services, greater visibility of its achievements, more, and better alliances with Government & Sponsor authorities. Despite the challenges and limitation, a hospital -train project is one of the ways to provide the health services to the hard -to reach community of Bangladesh.

M22 Doctor’s Foundation aims to take the initiative for launching   the Hospital Train Network collaborating with the Bangladesh Government & Global Financial Authorities.

[02] HOSPITAL SHIP PROJECT

INTRODUCTION: A hospital ship is a ship designated for primary function as a floating medical treatment facility or hospital. Hospital ships possibly existed in ancient times. The Athenian Navy had a ship named Therapia and the Roman Navy had a ship named Aesculapius, their names indicating that they may have been hospital ships. Those ships were mainly used for the treatment of wounded soldiers fighting on land. The modern hospital ship began to emerge during the Crimean War in the 1850s. The only military hospital available to the British forces fighting on the Crimean Peninsula was at Scutari near the Bosphorus. The first purpose-built hospital ship in the U.S. Navy was USS Relief which was commissioned in 1921.

HOSPITAL SHIP in BANGLADESH: 'Jibon Tari' Floating Hospital, the first of this kind, launched in April 1999 is IFB's unique venture that has gained huge popularity among the poor people living on the banks of major rivers in Bangladesh. Now -a -days, Impact Foundation has been operating 3 floating hospitals in isolated char and riverbank-based communities in northern Bangladesh.

OBJECTIVES of the HOSPITAL SHIP: [a] To provide non-emergency medical services in the river banks, char, Sundarban forest & coastal areas. [b] To provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and tidal surges.
