Charity, Awareness & Research For Humanity
Background
“Healthy Heart Happy Life” is a non-government, non-profit, non-political, voluntary organization based on the slogan “charity, awareness and research for humanity”. The organization chiefly contributes to human development through creating awareness on different issues, carrying out research and providing humanitarian services.
In Bangladesh, there is serious deficiency in epidemiological information and disease-specific database of our own, research in health sector is also not upto the mark. No country can pinpoint its problems without research and relevant databases. Solving the problem and development is not possible without identifying the problems first. On this background, to fill the gap, Healthy Heart Happy Life Organization was formed by some research-oriented doctors and like-minded professionals from different fields.
