Shaheed Sheikh Abu Naser Specialized Hospital is a 250-bed government multidisciplinary tertiary-level hospital sitting at the gateway to Khulna city, in Khalishpur Upazila. It operates under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), with the official facility code 10001811.
The hospital carries real historical weight in its name. It honours Sheikh Abu Naser, the younger brother of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founder of Bangladesh. Its foundation stone was laid on 12 September 1998 by Sheikh Hasina - Sheikh Abu Naser's niece and the country's Prime Minister - marking a deliberate act of remembrance rather than a routine hospital groundbreaking.
What follows is a notably long gap between symbolic beginning and actual operation: despite the foundation stone being laid in 1998, the hospital did not start its journey until 30 March 2010 - a full twelve years later. Public sources don't clearly explain what caused this extended delay, so treat the intervening period as an open question rather than a documented timeline - worth digging into further if the full construction history matters for your purposes.
Once operational, the hospital was built with a clear regional purpose: to bring specialised medical services to the people of southwestern Bangladesh under a single roof, reducing the need for patients across the Khulna division to travel elsewhere for tertiary-level care.

Note: One third-party listing shows a slightly different mobile number (017161698349, with an extra digit) - this appears to be a data-entry error, and the DGHS-listed number above should be treated as the reliable reference.
Founded Foundation stone laid on 12 September 1998, in memory of Sheikh Abu Naser. Actual hospital operations began on 30 March 2010, twelve years after the foundation stone ceremony.
Speciality A multidisciplinary tertiary-level specialised hospital, intended to serve the entire southwestern region of Bangladesh with a broad range of specialist care under one roof rather than a single narrow specialty.

The foundation stone was laid in 1998, but the hospital didn't start operating until 2010. Public sources don't clearly explain the delay, so the specifics of that gap remain undocumented in what's publicly available - worth asking hospital administration if you need the full history.
He was the younger brother of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding leader. The hospital's foundation stone was laid by his niece, then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as a act of remembrance.
It's built as a multidisciplinary tertiary-level specialised hospital, meaning it houses several specialist departments (such as cardiology and neurosurgery) under one roof, rather than focusing on just one narrow medical field.
The DGHS-listed numbers are 041760390 (land phone) and 01716169834 (mobile). One third-party site shows a longer, likely mistyped variant of the mobile number - the DGHS listing is the safer reference.
It was purpose-built to serve the broader southwestern region of Bangladesh, not just Khulna city, functioning as a specialised referral point for patients across the division.
