About People’s Health Assembly

People’s Health Assembly (PHA) is located inside the Gonoshasthaya Kendra campus in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Historical connection with the Liberation War — During 1971, Bangladeshi doctors living in the UK organized the Bangladesh Medical Association in London to support the Liberation War. Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury and Dr. M. A. Mobin left their higher studies and joined the humanitarian effort to treat wounded freedom fighters and Bangladeshi refugees in India. With support from the Bangladesh government in exile, they helped establish a 480-bed Bangladesh Field Hospital near the Tripura–Comilla border.

The experience gained from operating the field hospital influenced the development and philosophy of Gonoshasthaya Kendra. Began work in 1972 with 22 volunteers in tents at Baismail, Savar. Focus: improving lives and health of rural communities. Expanded into Health, Education, Women’s development, Women’s empowerment, Poverty alleviation, and other social-development activities.
