The Dhaka Community Hospital Trust has celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Victory Day through a three-day programme. As in the previous years, a heroic freedom fighter was accorded an honorary crest.

Marking the day, the crest of honor of DCH Trust was given to the heroic freedom fighter Dr. M. A. Mobin, one of the founders of Field Hospital “Bangladesh Hospital” at Melaghar, India. The filed hospital provided medical services to war-wounded freedom fighters on the battlefield in 1971.

In his address Dr. Mobin described his experience of the Liberation War. He remained in India with the permission of the Bangladesh Government for the establishment of the hospital and Dr. Zafrullah returned to London to raise money for the independence movement with the help of the Government of Bangladesh.
Dr. Mobin recounts how he set up a field hospital for war-wounded freedom fighters at Melaghor in India. Many medical students and youths spontaneously joined the hospital providing services as volunteers. The hospital serves as a field hospital in Sector 2 and many war wounded freedom fighters were given treatment there. Khaled Musharraf came to this hospital as a splinter-wounded patient and Dr. Mobin treated him.
