Songjog Ambulance, a vital initiative of the Songjog Foundation, has made waves in the field of emergency healthcare services in Bangladesh since its inception in May 2022. Here’s a closer look at our journey and the impactful work we’ve undertaken:
Our Journey:
– We started our remarkable journey with a single ambulance in May 2022, and over the course of a year, we expanded our fleet to include a second ambulance.
– In just one and a half years of service, we’ve been privileged to serve over 2,00 patients throughout Bangladesh.
Our Commitment to Service:
- We take immense pride in providing round-the-clock ambulance services that span the entire breadth of Bangladesh.
- A unique facet of our service is the provision of affordable ambulance services for those who are financially better off.
- What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to providing cost-free services to the less fortunate. We believe in serving those who need us most, and our promise is to provide free ambulance services anywhere in Bangladesh when requested.
Being There in Times of Crisis:
- Immediate Response during the Sitakunda Tragedy: In June 2022, we stood as a pillar of support during the Sitakunda Tragedy. For five days, we offered free ambulance services to those affected. More than 20 individuals directly benefited from our assistance during this tragic event.
- Assistance during the Northern Bangladesh Flood: In June 2022, as a great flood wreaked havoc in the northern part of Bangladesh, including regions like Sylhet, Sunamganj, Netrokona, and Moulovibazar, we joined hands with Songjog Volunteers Bangladesh (SVB) to partake in rescue and relief missions. We extended our services across ten districts, providing much-needed help during this crisis.
- A Compassionate Response to the Bhairab Train Accident: Following the Bhairab Train Accident, we took immediate and compassionate action by offering free ambulance services. We assisted ten grieving families in transporting the remains of their loved ones. While others demanded exorbitant fees for this service, we were honoured to provide it for free, underscoring our unwavering commitment to alleviating suffering in times of distress.
Songjog Ambulance’s dedication to serving the community, especially those who are most vulnerable, reflects our deep-rooted values of compassion and altruism. We continue to be a valued asset in the realm of healthcare and emergency response in Bangladesh, bringing hope and healing to those who need it most. Our journey is fueled by the belief that no one should be left behind when it comes to healthcare and support during crises.
