About Us

It all started in year 1989. “When we started out in 1989, we noticed that patients in Dhaka had to wait as much as a week to get their results,” says Dr A. M. Shamim, Founder and Managing Director of Labaid. “So, we decided to simplify matters by creating a one-stop center where patients could access doctors, diagnostics and pharmacies, all in one place.

It all started in year 1989. “When we started out in 1989, we noticed that patients in Dhaka had to wait as much as a week to get their results,” says Dr A. M. Shamim, Founder and Managing Director of Labaid. “So, we decided to simplify matters by creating a one-stop center where patients could access doctors, diagnostics and pharmacies, all in one place. It has proved to be a successful model and you can find it in practice in Pakistan and India as well”, continues Dr. Shamim. And, of course in Bangladesh itself, where there are now 30 Labaid Diagnostic Centers in operation and 10 more in the pipeline. Dr Shamim and his colleagues have spent the three decades since then continuously looking for commercially sustainable ways of improving the country’s healthcare system. “We are always looking for areas of public demand where solutions are lacking,” Dr Shamim says. “We are pioneers and that is one of our great strengths.” It is a strength that stems from a deep understanding of the issues inherent within the Bangladeshi healthcare system and also from a genuine desire to fix them. These underlying characteristics have, firstly, prompted Labaid to diversify the range of services it offers to Bangladeshi patients. In 2004 it opened Labaid Cardiac Hospital to save so many Bangladeshis having to go abroad for cardiological treatment. This was followed by the Labaid Specialized Hospital (2006), the first multi-disciplinary super-specialty tertiary care corporate hospital in Bangladesh, and then by the Labaid Cancer Hospital. The Labaid Specialized Hospital in particular is a shining example of a successful synergy of state-of-the-art medical technology and equipment on the one hand, and the efficiencies that can be achieved through the appropriate implementation of an IT-based paperless medical record administrative system on the other. Cutting-edge technology and software need highly skilled staff to operate them and Labaid has funded three educational establishments: the State University of Bangladesh (2002), the Bangladesh Institute of Medical and Dental Technology (1996) - the first private institute of its kind in Bangladesh, and the State College of Health Science (2006). These institutes produce health professionals, nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists and dental technicians to meet its own demand and that of country’s other medical facilities.
