Under the supervision of BADAS (Diabetic Association of Bangladesh) it serves an increasing number of people everyday. It was first established by National Professor Dr Ibrahim, who was the pioneer of diabetic treatment in this country. It started it's journey in a tinshed building in Segunbagicha, then it moved to Shahbagh opposite the PG Hospital, which is now called BSMMU (Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University).

Almost all cases of diabetes and diabetes related complications are handled here and being a general hospital, non-diabetic patients can get proper treatment too.
