Preface
Bangladesh has achieved a significant progression in health sector during the last one and half decade both in
public and private sectors. Almost all the indicators that prove the improvement of health status are running
upwards. Practically an enormous contribution of private health care sector has made it possible.
FCN is established with a view to contributing to the health care sector in Bangladesh by producing a large
number of skilled and qualified nurses. Because there is a huge demand of nurses, who have real professional
dexterity. Public and private health care settings need nurses with increasing responsibilities and advanced proactive roles to ensure the delivery of health care services. Most of the good private hospitals employed foreign
nurse to meet the need of quality nursing care. FCN has been established to fulfill the inland need of
accomplished nurses and then to send them abroad as a part of our skilled manpower.
We know nursing is a challenging profession in Bangladesh. Nursing training began in Bangladesh in 1947. But
the scope of higher study was very limited till the recent past. There are only 10 government and 25 (Approx.)
private nursing colleges all over the country that run
B.Sc in Nursing course having around 1000 intakes in total per year. The number is not at all sufficient to meet
the demand. All these efforts and its success depends on well trained , well motivated and well compensated
health care professionals in which nurses are a critical component. Without qualified nurses the whole health
care system will not improve, patient will not be cared for and there will be great health problem. There is
serious shortage of diploma nurses, too, in the country. The quality of nursing education and clinical skills are
below the minimum world standard. For a well balanced health care system there should be 4-6 nurses for every
doctor. But in Bangladesh present doctor nurse ration is frustrating (3:1). The alarm bell rings when the demand
of diploma nurses is increasing and there is decreased production rate.
However the present government of Bangladesh has taken some steps to promote nursing as a dignified
profession. FCN is always with the good initiatives FCN is an emblem of that spirit.
