New Medical Clinic in Nawabbari (Photos)

 I am very proud to announce that a few members of the Nawab family got together and started a free clinic for the people living in Nawabbari.

 

The free clinic has been made possible by the contribution of the family members in funds and in kind. This clinic is for poor people who are unable to afford medical fees. A doctor has been appointed to sit in the clinic four days a week.

 

After a long time something meaningful has taken place in Nawabbari. A small room in Chaman was provided by the people living there for the clinic. Primary medicines are provided free of cost to the patients. Anyone suffering from any type of fever or any other minor ailments can visit the clinic.

I hope all the family members abroad will be happy to hear about the clinic. I would like you to all pray for the people who are thinking of doing well for other members. May Allah bless them all with his special blessings.

There are few more facilities provided by the Nawabbari clinic. They provide space to keep dead body of any one who doesn’t have space at their own premises. They allow all necessary things required for a funeral bath such as clean water,kafan etc. It is a ground floor room so that all members of the family could visit funeral easily. Allah bless all people who are doing such a good work.
 
I would like to request the family members abroad to donate on this fund. It will be a Sadka-e-Jaria. Anyone who would like to donate can contact, Mr. K.M. Hanif (Nanna Bhai) President of Nawabbari Prathomik Chikithshaloy. Contact #0088-02-7391328(Res), 0088-01713015065 (Mob).

Pre Eid good news

By the Grace of Allah, Mrs Yasmeen Murshed, daughter of Khwaja and Binoo Zakiuddin and wife of late Syed Tanvir Murshed, has been offered the post of Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to Pakistan. Her name has been sent now to Pakistan for the official acceptance. Mrs Murshed as we all know is the granddaugther of the late Khwaja Shahabuddin who had a long career as a diplomat and served as Pakistan’s ambassador in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. After K M Kaiser, Sharjeel Hassan and K.Wasiuddin, I believe she is the fifth member of the Dhaka family and the first woman from the Dhaka Family to represent her country at the highest level!
