Source-derived summary

Ibn Sina Trust is a non-profit welfare trust (organization) in Bangladesh and a major healthcare provider.

History

The Ibn Sina Trust was founded on 30 June 1980 in collaboration with the then Saudi Government. The then ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Bangladesh- his excellence Fouad Al Khatib and Advocate Mujibur Rahman, a Senior Advocate of Bangladesh Supreme Court and past provincial Information Minister of East Pakistan before the birth of Bangladesh, were two pioneer contributors in setting up the trust in Bangladesh. Ibn Sina Trust founded several laboratories, hospitals, diagnostic centers, consultation centers, and pharmaceutical industries throughout Bangladesh. On 30 April 2018, the Trust sold its shares in Islami Bank Bangladesh following a reshuffle of the bank administration. Ibn Sina has the biggest branch in Kallayanpur which serves at least 1,000 people per day.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Ibn Sina Trust” as non-profit welfare trust (organization) in Bangladesh and a major healthcare provider. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Sina, Trust and non-profit.

Editorial reviewMost valuable as an event-and-institution map that identifies actors, dates and record creators for deeper historical inquiry. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1980, 2018—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1980. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Sina, Trust and non-profit providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q17065333. VIAF identifies the subject as 173192683.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
