'Jibon Tari' Floating Hospital

‘Jibon Tari’ Floating Hospital, the first of this kind, launched in April 1999 is IFB’s unique venture that has gained huge popularity among the poor people living on the banks of major rivers in Bangladesh. The boat hospital is equipped with adequate trained manpower, modern medical equipment, and accessories to conduct surgery and treatment of patients with disabilities.

The specialized services offered by ‘Jibon Tari’ have been made available for the poorest of the poor of the country within their reach. Since 1999, the hospital has been moving from place to place throughout Bangladesh providing health care services to the most disadvantaged communities in the remotest riverine areas.

At present, ‘Jibon Tari’ floating hospital is running its 48th project in Barisal and it has so far covered 27 locations of 18 districts along different rivers of the country.
