WHO WE ARE 

Noora Health Bangladesh is part of Noora Health’s broader mission to improve health outcomes and strengthen health systems by equipping family caregivers with essential skills to care for their loved ones. 


Founded in 2014, Noora Health turns hospital hallways and waiting rooms into classrooms by tapping into the most compassionate resources available for the patient’s care: their own family. 


With support from governments and partners in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal, Noora Health has trained more than 58 million caregivers and patients across 16,300+ facilities using their flagship caregiver education and training curriculum, the Care Companion Program (CCP). 


In a cohort of patients, the CCP reduced post-surgical cardiac complications by 71%, maternal complications by 12%, newborn complications by 16%, and newborn mortality by 18%.


Noora Health is an Audacious Project Grantee and received the Skoll Foundation Award for Social Innovation. To learn more, watch our TED Talk, Skoll feature, or read about our partnership with the World Health Organization.
