The programme was organised by AB Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian organisation that provides immense support and free medical treatment to the disadvantaged freedom fighters in addition to their other social activities.

The foundation was laid by the eminent orthopaedic surgeon of the country and head of orthopaedics department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital Professor Dr M Amjad Hossain.

Now the organisation plans to expand their healthcare support to the freedom fighters by providing free medical consultation, medicine free of cost, proper referral and admission to different government hospitals and private clinics.

The service will be monitored and provided at the "Orthopaedic Care, Research and Rehabilitation Center" located at 3/18, Humayun Road, Mohammadpur, College Gate, Dhaka which is a sister concern of A B Foundation.

Professor Dr M Amjad Hossain, who is also a freedom fighter and holds the post of Health Advisor of Bangladesh Freedom Fighters Welfare Trust for long 26 years will provide free consultation at every Thursday of the week at the centre. Some young doctors of the centre are dedicated to the service as well.
