Community-Focused Healthcare Initiative
One of the Club’s significant long-term service initiatives is the Rotary Club of Dhaka North Eye Hospital Foundation, Kushtia.
The Foundation serves as a community-focused healthcare initiative, providing affordable and accessible eye-care services, including eye examinations, treatment and cataract-related services, particularly for underserved and economically disadvantaged communities.
Through this initiative, RCDN continues to transform the Rotary spirit of service into a sustainable healthcare model that creates meaningful community impact.
