About iCARE Family Trust
At the heart of the iCARE Family Trust is a belief that healthcare should not be a privilege—it should be a fundamental human right. In the quiet, rural communities of Bagerhat/Khulna district, Bangladesh, too many families face barriers to basic healthcare. iCARE was created to change that.
Rooted in a multigenerational legacy of service, iCARE brings together commitment, compassion and innovation to establish a new model of Primary Preventative Healthcare (PPH), to reduce burden of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Combining cutting- edge digital tools with a deep understanding of local unmet needs to reach those unheard, unseen, untreated patient population. This is more than just a medical clinic or cancer hospital—it’s about creating a sustainable, patient- centric process that restores dignity and reimagines what is possible in cost effective, data driven, high quality, healthcare delivery.
Through partnerships with leading health innovators, locally and globally, iCARE is building a bridge between tradition and technology—making quality healthcare more accessible, more efficient, and more humane.

OUR LEGACY
The story of iCARE Family Trust is deeply personal. It begins not in a boardroom or specialty hospital, but in the soil of Bagerhat, Bangladesh—where my family have lived and served the community and people for over a century. iCare is a continuation of a legacy—a promise to carry forward the values of compassion, equity, and community care.
My grandfather, Dr. Mozammel Hussain, was a pioneering physician, statesman, and philanthropist in British India. Educated in Calcutta before the partition, he believed—long before it was widely recognized—that healthcare is a human right. In both his medical practice and his public service, he treated all patients with dignity, regardless of their ability to pay. He once ran for political office under the symbol of the "Tiger"—a symbol of strength and vision that still permeates our family home, and which has inspired generations after him.
Following in his footsteps, my father, Dr. Hedayet Hussain, became an ophthalmologist, trained at Dhaka Medical College and Moorfield Eye Hospital, London, UK. He served communities in both Bangladesh and the United Kingdom, providing eye care with remarkable skill and humility. His life of quiet, steadfast service ended far too soon when he passed away in Canterbury in 1984, aged 49 years. He now rests beside his father in our family graveyard in Bagerhat—a sacred place that continues to remind me of where our story began, and why it must continue.
As for me, Dr. Iqbal Hussain, I inherited the same calling. Trained as a urological surgeon in London, my path took me from Dhaka via London to New York, from Chicago to California. I have been privileged to work in some of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world and in numerous global pharmaceutical companies. And yet, every step I took brought me closer to home in Bagerhat. In 2017, I first visited AMADER GRAM in person in addition to merely providing financial support. This was then a fledgling women-led cancer care and research center in Rampal. Founded by my uncle, Professor Mahmudul Haque with the unrelenting support of Dr Richard Love. A partnership between a visionary in art, education, and digital innovation and an oncologist from Wisconsin, USA . Today, Amader Gram Cancer Care and Research Center (AGCCRC) has two dedicated buildings on a 8.2acre site with more than 30,000 patients on record.
The most powerful part of this story belongs to my deceased son, Farid Iqbal Hussain, who left us in 2012 at just 15 years old. Farid dreamed of becoming a writer. His humor, wisdom, and imagination still live on in his journal gifted to me. There he once wrote, “Moving on, I’d like to ask you a question, why are you reading this? Do you think you will get some deep insight into my personality?
Farid’s words always remind me that healing is not only clinical—it is emotional, spiritual, and deeply human. His voice guides this work just as surely as those of his ancestors.
The iCARE Family Trust is our collective story—woven through decades of service and sacrifice, grief and gratitude. It is a return to our roots, and a commitment to future generations. Through this foundation, we honor where we come from by transforming how healthcare is delivered— anchored in prevention, powered by technology, and always centered in love.
