Who We Are
Gonoshasthaya Kendra (GK) : Gono means People, Shasthaya means Health, Kendra means Center. GK emerged from the 1971 Liberation War when Bangladesh won its independence. During the war, doctors, medical students, fighters and volunteers established a 480-bed field hospital in Bisramganj, Tripura State, India, near the Cumilla District of then-East Pakistan. The hospital treated many wounded Freedom Fighters, refugees and local people. After the war ended, some of the doctors, medical students and volunteers started a hospital – first in Eskaton, Dhaka, then on donated land 22 miles away in Savar Thana.

Healthcare during the Liberation War
Gonoshasthaya Kendra is the first health center or hospital in independent Bangladesh. The organization earned highest national award of Bangladesh Government The Independence Day Award, 1977.
The hospital was set up as Bangladesh Hospital in 1971 during Bangladesh Pakistan war in Agartala, India. Zafrullah Chowdhury is known as the founder of Gonoshasthaya Kendra.
GK Cox’s Bazar : Preparedness & response for COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, its first such designation since declaring H1N1 influenza a pandemic in 2009.
Flashback August 2017
Since August 2017 the influx of over 908,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh has created the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world (ISCG situation report; 13 December 2018). The majority of these Rohingya refugees are living in unsafe and unhygienic conditions.
They are facing hunger, malnutrition, infectious disease, and other medical ailments, and desperately need access to healthcare and other lifesaving support. The total population in need of health services has been calculated for the 2018 Joint Response Plan (JRP) as 1.3 million people (JRP, 2018). The sheer magnitude of refugee numbers has put massive pressure on all health services, and the cramped living conditions present significant public health risks.
Humanitarian Response in GK
Health care was very much needed
The Rohingya people have faced decades of systematic discrimination, statelessness and targeted violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Such persecution has forced Rohingya women, girls, boys and men into Bangladesh for many years, with significant spikes following violent attacks in 1978, 1991-1992, and again in 2016.
