Kuwait Bangladesh Friendship Government Hospital in Uttara, Dhaka

On 10 June 2001, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated Kuwait-Bangladesh Friendship Hospital. In 2002, the Kuwaiti Joint Relief Committee stopped funding the hospital, showing the financial crisis reason. A lease agreement was made between The Ministry of Health and the American Hospital Consortium on December 16, 2002. According to the agreement, The government transferred its responsibility to American Hospital Consortium. After the agreement name of the hospital was changed to "American Super Specialised Hospital". According to the agreement the responsible side had to upgrade the hospital to international standards by June 30, 2008. But the organization failed to do so. Then in 2009, the government sued American Hospital Consortium for taking over the rights of the government hospital illegally, leaving the matter of agreement cancellation pending. Six years later, the court ruled in favor of the government, and the custody of the hospital was given to the health ministry. The hospital was reopened later under the management of the Ministry of Health. Its responsibility was transferred to Kurmitola General Hospital in June 2016. After two years ministry of Health appointed a new director. In December of the same year, the indoor service with 100 beds was opened.
