WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT LAMB?

Almost all people who come to visit LAMB, or to work here, consider it a remarkably good place.  Here are some of the reasons why – not in any particular order

Committed to holism consistent with our spiritual foundation.

• We believe that prayer makes a difference
• As a Christian organization, we seek to equip staff to model an example that reflects how Jesus treated people with love, respect, compassion, and forgiveness
• Half the staff are of other religions, as are more than 90% of the patients
• Committed to care for the poor and the poorest of the poor
• Providing dedicated chaplains available to pray with and counsel any in need of spiritual and emotional comfort
• Although there are differences, relatively speaking LAMB is low on status awareness.  (eg we have no cars for exclusive use of management)

Quality Standard while Accessible and Appropriate

• It is high quality medical care but seeks to be appropriate and low-cost since most patients are very poor
• It is professionally well run without corruption
• We have some extremely high quality staff
• Half of the Directors/ Heads of major departments are Bangladeshi
• The large number of short term volunteers enables LAMB to keep abreast with good practice outside, and bring continual refreshment to LAMB
• We extremely rarely are unable to admit patients when we have technical capacity to help them

Environment (Physical and Organizational Culture)

• It is set in a lovely environment, largely surround by rice paddies, and its own grounds make it very pleasant
• It is very high quality despite being a rural hospital serving the poor, and far from the capital city
• It is a real pleasure (and honour) to work here
• It is always full of people and busy
• Continually working to connect local communities to the health system that serves them
