Hanif Sanket who hosts Bangladesh's most popular TV show - Ittadi - re-visited Kailakuri recently. This resulted in a 6 minute segment shown on his show. Ittadi is typically watched by 40 million or more viewers and as could be expected there has been quite a response. Journalists have been turning up at Kailakuri wanting to know more. Bangla social media has been very active.

This has resulted in a positive write-up in the Daily Star. The Daily Star is the most popular English language newspaper in Bangladesh, and they sent a Tangail reporter to Kailakuri after the Ittadi coverage.

ABOUT US >

Kailakuri Health Care Project's philosophy is "health for the poor, by the poor". Kailakuri is managed and operated by local staff who grew up in the surrounding villages. The project was founded and directed by New Zealander Dr Edric Baker, until he passed away on 1st September 2015. The project has approximately 79 staff , many of whom Dr Baker trained over a number of years, enabling the project to continue running smoothly after his death. All staff take part in weekly training sessions, run by the senior paramedics. There are two full-time Bangladeshi registered doctors, and two-monthly rotating internee doctors from Gonoshashtaya Kendra Medical College and Hospital. In early 2018 the project was joined by Drs Jason and Merindy Morgensen,  from the United States. It is a project of Dr Baker's Organisation for Well-Being, an independent NGO registered with the Bangladeshi NGO Bureau and approved to receive foreign funds and volunteers.
