Remembering Zafrullah Chowdhury / Radical pragmatist, champion of women, public-health advocate

People’s doctor no more

Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder and valiant freedom fighter Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury passed away at the Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital in the capital last night

A revolutionary’s journey

The first time I saw Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury was in 2007, for a story in our weekend magazine in The Daily Star, on his Nagar Hospital on Mirpur Road, where anyone, no matter how poor could get medical care at subisidised costs
