Al Shifa International Hospital is a proposed 7-storey, solar-powered hospital for Keraniganj โ designed to cut long-term running costs while serving a fast-growing part of greater Dhaka. We're now inviting local and foreign investors to become founding shareholders.
Keraniganj sits on Dhaka's southern edge and is growing quickly, yet families along Kalatia Bazar Road still travel deep into central Dhaka for routine and emergency care. Al Shifa International Hospital is planned as a general and specialty hospital โ seven floors of outpatient, inpatient, diagnostic and emergency services โ built close enough to serve the area, and designed from the ground up to run on renewable power.
The building itself is the pitch: rooftop solar generation, energy-efficient systems, and water and waste management chosen to hold down the single largest recurring cost in hospital operations โ electricity.
Sustainability here isn't a certificate on the wall โ it's a set of choices that lower the cost of running a hospital every single day.
A rooftop photovoltaic array sized to cover a meaningful share of daytime hospital load, reducing dependence on the grid and on diesel backup.
LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC and building insulation chosen specifically to reduce the electricity bill per occupied bed.
Rainwater harvesting and treated-water reuse, alongside a compliant medical waste management system from day one.
The hospital will be incorporated as a Private/Public Limited Company (Ltd. / PLC) under the Companies Act, 1994, with subscribers, shareholders and a board of directors constituted as required by Bangladesh law. Both local and foreign investors are welcome, subject to standard investment procedures.

Based on how comparable private hospitals in Bangladesh typically perform once established โ these are planning estimates, not a promise.
Range commonly seen at established private hospitals in Bangladesh once patient volumes mature.
From commissioning to covering operating costs, typical for a new tertiary-care hospital of this scale.
On paid-up equity once operational and profitable, after funds retained for growth.
Solar generation shields the hospital's biggest recurring cost from rising grid tariffs.
Potential access to tax and policy incentives available to certified eco-friendly facilities in Bangladesh.
Land and building value in a fast-growing part of greater Dhaka, alongside the operating business.
Governance rights and, for larger stakes, board representation in a healthcare company from its founding.
*Indicative planning estimates only โ not a forecast, projection, or guarantee. Actual returns depend on the feasibility study, construction timeline, licensing, and hospital operations, and are subject to ordinary business and market risk.
Any hospital investment carries real risk. We'd rather you weigh it up front than discover it later.
Permits, environmental clearance and civil works can extend timelines and increase cost.
New hospitals typically take several years to reach steady patient volume and revenue.
Other hospitals and clinics serve greater Dhaka and Keraniganj; demand is not guaranteed.
Energy output and payback depend on irradiance, ongoing maintenance and grid interconnection policy.
Operation requires clearance from the Directorate General of Health Services and other relevant authorities.
As a private company, shares are less liquid than listed securities โ exit relies on finding a buyer or a company action.
Relevant for foreign investors converting and, in future, repatriating funds.
