Air Cdre (Rtd.) M. GolamTawhid, the Vice-Chairman of ISKF, in his inaugural speech highlighted the birth of ISKF and ISKKC aiming to serve the humanity. He under scored
that ISKKC is a shining example of an ‘improbable dream turned reality’ through synergistic combination of good intention, great perseverance, and committed team work. A team of Bangladeshi dreamers of Old Rajshahi Cadets’ Association, USA Chapter (ORCA-USA) sold the idea to late Dr. Imdad Khan and his wife Mrs. Sitara Khan to establish a kidney dialysis center for the downtrodden renal failure patients in rural area of Bangladesh. |
Under the patronage of Khan Family Foundation, a trust named Imdad-Sitara Khan Foundation (ISKF) was established in Bangladesh to carry out philanthropic activities. SKF is a nonprofit organization formed in Bangladesh with an Advisory Council headed by Mrs. Sitara khan and the Executive Committee headed by Dr. Abu Hena M. Kamal. |
In less than 7 years ISKKC has established itself as a premier dialysis provider and by far the largest In Bangladesh. ISKKC is currently operating six dialysis centers in different districts of Bangladesh. Without these facilities hundreds of unfortunate destitute patients would not have access to live-saving treatments. |
Mr. Tawhid hoped that ISKKC’s success will serve as a model to inspire others to create opportunities to serve humanities. |
