Social Welfare Outreach Project (SWOP) is a special
Health Care Project of World Vision Bangladesh. This project started in May
1985 with a view to provide secondary and Tertiary medical assistance to the
children and adults of the WVB projects with preference to the Sponsored
children who are medically and physically handicapped.
In rural areas in Bangladesh a huge number of
people are medically and physically handicapped due to malnutrition and other
serious illness. Majority of them are children for whom very little efforts are
being made for health care and treatments. World Vision has a special
commitment to meet the medical needs of the sponsored children and poor peoples
in its program areas. The SWOP takes appropriate response to these coordinating
with available in-country medical facilities. As such the project facilitates to
ensure medical treatments of the patients usually refer by the respective ADPs
and projects. The Social Welfare Outreach Project provides services to
1000-1200 patients every year. SWOP rendered its services to more than 20,500
patients since its inception.
The Project is being managed by the cost recovery
funds with the outside financial supports from the financial year 2008. The WV
HKG funded the Project since its inception that ended in FY’ 07
