National Healthcare Network was initilly established in June, 1996 as the National Diagnostic Network with the concept of providing quality laboratory services all over the country. However the need for providing quality healthcare services at affordable prices at readily accessible places was soon evident. In response the project was renamed as the National Healthcare Network. Healthcare components were added along with the existing quality diagnotics services. Now it has emerged as a centre of excellence with ten out patient centres in different parts of the Dhaka city. Recently an executive healthcare centre has been established at Naya Paltan and Ibrahim Probeen Nibash at Banani has started since 29 september 2006.
