If you need help at home to attend to your ailing or elderly family members, just dial 01755660025.
A private body, Good Heal Trust, in partnership with the country’s largest healthcare network, the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh (DAB), is now offering care service for Dhaka residents for a nominal charge.
A group of young women have been trained to look after the elderly at home, in hospitals, or clinics.
They will ensure the prevention of bedsores, monitor blood pressure and blood glucose.
They will also carry physical samples for diagnostic tests, making life easy for many families that find it difficult to move their elderly members through a crowded, often gridlocked, city.
These trained women will make arrangements for home visits by doctors and physiotherapists.
Services like feeding, toileting, bathing, and dressing are also being offered.
