Bithi Akter, a young mother from Chandpur, faced severe health challenges due to anemia, especially during her second pregnancy. Her family\u2019s limited income made it difficult to afford necessary medical care. Discovering the health services offered by the BASTOB NGO, Bithi received crucial support, including free iron and calcium tablets, dietary advice, and regular medical check-ups from a paramedic. Following the paramedic\u2019s advice, Bithi visited the BASTOB office to consult with an MBBS doctor and began following his guidance. Due to her poor health, the paramedic started regular home visits for check-ups. Despite initial difficulties during labor, Bithi safely delivered a healthy baby boy at Kurmitola General Hospital, thanks to timely advice from BASTOB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bithi\u2019s family expressed immense gratitude towards BASTOB for their unwavering support and comprehensive care. They believe that without the medical assistance, guidance, and regular check-ups provided by BASTOB, Bithi\u2019s situation could have been dire. The timely intervention of the BASTOB paramedic during Bithi\u2019s labor was crucial, especially when they faced the challenge of finding no available doctors at the BRAC delivery center due to Eid. The paramedic\u2019s recommendation to go to Kurmitola General Hospital ensured a safe delivery for Bithi. The family\u2019s heartfelt thanks go to everyone involved in BASTOB\u2019s medical services for making a significant difference in their lives. They are particularly thankful for the consistent care, timely advice, and compassionate approach of BASTOB\u2019s team, which helped Bithi through her challenging pregnancy and ensured the safe arrival of her baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
