Background & Human Impact
Immunization is the most effective clinical defense against life-threatening childhood infections, including Tuberculosis, Polio, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Hepatitis B, Hib, Pneumonia, and Measles-Rubella.
While the government provides core vaccines under Bangladesh’s Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), low-income families often face overcrowded clinics, irregular schedules, or private centers charging fees for syringes and nursing. To eliminate all obstacles, Mohammed Tajul Islam established the Free Vaccination Support Center at Shilmoon Specialized Hospital. Shilmoon covers 100% of the 24/7 cold-chain medical refrigeration, backup generators, auto-disable syringes, and registered nursing care — ensuring families pay 0 Taka.
