Nashville Escorts: Volunteers change nursing in Bangladesh

Through the program, volunteer instructors teach a curriculum approved by the Bangladesh Nursing Council. Graduates – the first five completed their courses this past September – receive a bachelor of science in nursing. Volunteer instructors typically spend six weeks to six months in teaching positions in Dhaka, where the program keeps a guest house and one Canadian administrator lives year-round.
Funds for the program, which costs about $55,000 a year to run, are raised through Mid-Main, a registered non-profit group in Canada.
Bangladesh has training programs for nurses, but the quality of instruction tends to be poor. New, private hospitals springing up in the country often hire foreign-trained nurses. The profession also has an image problem: nursing in Bangladesh has been perceived as “dirty work” and even linked to prostitution. There are fewer than 0.125 nurses for every thousand people in the country, compared with an average of eight nurses per thousand people in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.
