The basic needs
A group of physicians recently returned from Bangladesh where they provided heart-surgery procedures for local children through The Basic Needs Foundation. Established in 1993 by Dr. Richard Hubbard, a pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist at Texas Children’s Hospital, The Basic Needs Foundation connects corporations and nonprofit organizations to provide assistance including food, clothing, and medical care. Dr. Hubbard said he is grateful to the team of dedicated doctors who gave their time and medical expertise to children in Bangladesh, and he was honored to work alongside them. The Basic Needs Foundation volunteers are (pictured, from left) Dr. Diego Casali, Dr. Judy Becker, Abdul Khader Biplop, Dr. Selim Rokonujjaman, Dr. Richard Hubbard, and Dr. Rezwana Rima.
