MISSION AND VISION

FOUNDING STORY

ONE PERSON’S PASSSION,
NOW EVERYONE’S SPREEHA

After his mother’s cancer diagnosis, Tazin Shadid decided to use his human-centered design expertise at Microsoft to solve healthcare challenges for underserved communities in Bangladesh. He started a mobile clinic in a Dhaka slum in 2007.

Later on, in 2012 he established Spreeha Foundation and developed a holistic model that helps underserved communities to thrive.

Today, Spreeha is building a network of tech-enabled hyper-local urgent care centers, ensuring accessible and high-quality healthcare for low and middle-income communities. In the last 12 years, Spreeha has impacted more than 700,000 lives in Bangladesh and beyond.
