The Society took Mobile Rural Ear Camp
as its first project and organized the first ear camp in Feb 1990 at
Kaligonj, Gazipur with volunteer ENT Specialists and supporting staffs.
CARITAS Bangladesh acted as local organizer of the camp and Andheri
Hilfe, e.V. Bonn under the leadership of Ms. Rosi Gollmann gave the
financial support. The aim of the ear camp was to see the poor patients
of the remotest villages of the country who are unable to seek help for
their illness by going to big cities and towns due to financial and
communication problems. The unprecedented enthusiasm and interest shown
by the common people of the area towards the ear camp conducted at
Gazipur inspired Ms. Rosi Gollmann and her colleagues from Andheri
Hilfe e.V. Bonn present during the ear camp to such an extent that they
expressed willingness to support continued organization of rural ear
camps in the remotest places of the country, and committed financial
and technical support to establish a Centre of excellence at Dhaka to
train doctors and paramedics for effective prevention, early detection
and rehabilitation of hearing impairment, specially in the children and
treatment of ENT diseases that may cause hearing impairment amongst the
population.
