WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT LAMB ?

• Almost all people who come to visit LAMB, or to work here, consider it a remarkably good place. Here are some of the reasons why – not in any particular order
• It is a very caring place
• It is always full of people and busy
• It is professionally very well run
• It is not corrupt
• It is Christian, and tries very hard to give a good example
• Half the staff are of other religions, as are more than 90% of the patients
• It really focuses on the poor and the poorest of the poor
• It is surprisingly high quality medical care
• We have some extremely high quality staff
• It really works with the disadvantaged every day
• Half of the Directors/ Heads of major Departments are Bangladeshi
• We don’t keep people out
• Although there are differences, relatively speaking LAMB is low on status awareness. (We have no cars for management)
• We are always assessing whether we are really still reaching the poorest
• It is a real pleasure (and honour) to work here
• It has maintained very high standards throughout its existence
• The large number of short term volunteers enables LAMB to keep abreast with good practice outside, and bring continual refreshment to LAMB
• Although certainly not perfect, we strive continually to treat all people with mutual respect
• We believe that prayer makes a difference
• It is very high quality despite being a rural hospital serving the poor, and far from the capital city
• It is set in a lovely environment, largely surround by rice paddies, and its own grounds make it very pleasant
