BNP leader and Qatar expatriate Nurul Mostafa Khokon has donated Tk 1.2 million from his personal funds to renovate the Sandwip Upazila Health Complex in Chattogram. The initiative aims to address long-standing issues such as poor sanitation, lack of seating for patients, and inadequate cleanliness. The donation will fund repainting, toilet repairs, installation of 100 chairs, and the appointment of a full-time cleaner. A representative has already been sent to assess the hospital’s needs.

The initiative began after Khokon attended a parliamentary session where the health minister urged wealthy citizens to assist in improving healthcare facilities due to limited government funds. Khokon immediately pledged to support the renovation of the neglected Sandwip hospital. Local residents and BNP leaders have praised his humanitarian gesture, describing it as a model for others.

Health officials said the contribution will help improve patient services and working conditions for staff. The hospital, long plagued by staff shortages and poor infrastructure, is expected to see significant improvement once the renovation is complete.
