A motor bike serving as an ambulance is quite unusual. But that is what dreamers do...unusual things - things that sound unusual to the normal world. But to a dreamer...this is just another way to live....

No, these are not the key features of a 7 star hospital in New Delhi.
This is a service provided by a tea estate worker earning Rs 4000pm for his own living. He keeps 25% of his salary aside for fuel cost, etc. for ‘bike-ambulance,’ while another 25% goes to the bank for paying monthly installments of the bike.
Karimul Haque from the Dhalabari village under the Malbazar police station in the district has become popular in his village and neighbourhood, for his unique concept of ‘bike ambulance.’ A tea garden worker in Jalpaiguri district in West Bengal uses his motorbike to take poor villagers to hospitals and clinics free of cost.
The service and mobile number of ‘Karimul Bike Ambulance,’ has become popular and is known to most people, from local doctors to police and other block officials. What’s more, his service is available day and night.
There is a Primary Health Centre at Kranti, about six kilometers from the village, but it has no arrangements for operation or critical disease treatment.
There is another hospital in Malbazar town in the district across river, but there is no over bridge from the Dhalabari village, where most people work as tea gardeners.
So Karimul has to drive 45 kilometers in one stretch. But he is passionately doing this.
What drives him to this unique conceopt? What keeps him going?
Karimul, lost his mother, Zafuran Nessa, at 2am early morning, because of non- availability of basic health infrastructure.
For a dreamer, incidents like these are a turning point of their life. They do not get bogged down. They rise from the ashes. The fact is that he did not have money or facilities but he had a dream - a big one. And when the dream is big enough - then facts do not count.
He turned his personal setback into something that has alredy saved more than 3000 lives across more than 20 villages.
“My mother died due to lack of treatment and so I decided to start this bike-ambulance service for poor. By the grace of Allah, I am bearing the fuel cost and giving the ambulance service to the village. I am doing this in memory of his mother so that God grant her a place in heaven." says Karimul.
People laughed at me when I expressed my views about a motorcycle working like an ambulance. He let them laugh. He was visualising something that other normal people were not able to see. Dreamers see what others do not, and therefore they do what others think is stupid or foolish.
It was only when Karimul started saving lives, people in the village understood his dream.
He has two sons and two daughters. Both the daughters are married and his two sons are working as mobile mechanics. Even his family members are supportive in his work. Karimul’s wife Anjuara Begum said, “We are all the members of the family and support him in his service.”
But why not instead buy a car?
Both Karimul and his wife say, “We are poor and do not have sufficient funds. Moreover, the bike ambulance has become famous in the district and suits for the difficult terrain in the region”.
How to reach Karimul?

I live in usa and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as I am a mother who struggles with three children and I have been going through a problem as seriously as my husband found a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and I could not pay the bills, then your surgery went to the bank to borrow and reject me saying that I have no credit card, from there i run to my father and he was not able to help, then when I was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a loan lender MR TONY HARTON, offering loans at affordable interest rate and i have been hearing about so many scams on the internet but at this my desperate situation, I had no choice but to give it an attempt and surprisingly it was all like a dream, I got a loan of $ 50,000 and I paid for my husband surgery and thank God today is good and you can walk and is working and the burden is longer so much on me more and we can feed well and my family is happy today and i said to myself that I will mourn aloud in the world of the wonders of God to me through this lender GOD fearing MR TONY HARTON and I would advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this God-fearing man on financialhome34@outlook.com through .. and I want you all to pray for this man for me
