Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury

Drik honours Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury on 34th founding anniversary

Drik Gallery celebrated its 34th founding anniversary by honouring the extraordinary Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury and his contribution to ensuring equal access to healthcare for all.

Dr Zafrullah’s real utopia

Zafrullah’s socialism was useful in contrast to ones offered by the dominant leftist parties of the country, characterised by theoretical obscurantism, fractiousness, political irrelevance, and their inconsequentiality to the daily lives of the masses.

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

Like the dreaded knock, I was afraid that one of my friends would one day ask me to write something about him, a memorial.

Dr Zafrullah will be given a guard of honour at the Shaheed Minar, where his body will be kept till 1:00pm

A nation-builder like no other

Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury will be remembered for his tireless pro-people activism

Our one and only Zafrullah Bhai

A true patriot, he not only played a key role in the birth of Bangladesh, but devoted his life to make the dream of our independence a reality.

Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury / The man who walked the talk

He has shown us that politics need not be a dirty word, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and that dialogue and respect can take us further than we ever thought possible.

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
