Excelerate Energy has long been dedicated to uplifting the communities in which it operates, ensuring that its presence extends beyond business and contributes meaningfully to societal well-being. In line with this commitment, the company, in collaboration with the Hope Foundation, has inaugurated Excelerate Hope Hospital in Moheshkhali Upazila, Cox's Bazar, a much-needed healthcare facility that will provide essential medical services to the local population, particularly women and children. The people of Moheshkhali have long struggled with limited access to quality healthcare, often having to travel long distances to Cox's Bazar or Chattogram for medical attention.

Excelerate Energy recognized this challenge and took the initiative to build a modern hospital that ensures quality medical services are available closer to home, reducing the burden on families and improving overall health outcomes. Covering a total area of 17,280 sq. ft., Excelerate Hope Hospital consists of two buildings-the main hospital building, spanning 9,200 sq. ft., and a dormitory building, covering 3,000 sq. ft., which will house healthcare professionals to ensure round-the-clock medical services. The groundbreaking ceremony for this facility was held on February 28, 2023, marking the beginning of a project that embodies Excel- erate Energy's commitment to community development and corporate social responsibility. The hospital is being launched in phases to ensure a smooth rollout of services and efficient integration into the community.

The first phase of operations, was set to begin in February 2025 and focused on outpatient department (OPD) services, antenatal and postnatal care (ANC & PNC), emergency services, basic pathology and lab test services, health awareness programs and family planning counseling. These initial services are designed to address the most immediate healthcare needs of the community, ensuring that patients receive timely medical attention without the stress of long and costly travel. As part of its long-term vision, Excelerate Energy has planned a second phase of expansion, set to launch in January 2026, which will introduce more advanced and specialized healthcare services, including safe normal vaginal delivery (NVD), cesarean delivery, neonatal and pediatric care, ultrasound, ECG, family planning services, telemedicine consultations, 24/7 pharmacy services, and mental health support. The inclusion of maternal and child healthcare services is particularly significant, as maternal and infant mortality rates remain a concern in many rural and underserved areas due to the lack of skilled medical assistance during childbirth. Beyond medical services, Excelerate Hope Hospital is expected to have a broader impact on the local community, fostering economic development by creating employment opportunities for medical professionals, administrative staff and support personnel. By employing local talent, the hospital will not only enhance healthcare but also contribute to the livelihoods of families in Moheshkhali. Moreover, the hospital's dormitory facility will ensure that doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff are readily available at all times, addressing the common issue of doctor shortages in remote areas and ensuring continuous medical support for patients. Excelerate Energy believes that businesses have a responsibility to give back to society and the company has consistently demonstrated this through various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of people in the regions. The establishment of Excelerate Hope Hospital is one of its most significant contributions to date, ensuring that quality healthcare is not a privilege but a basic right for the people of Moheshkhali. This initiative aligns with the company's broader vision of corporate social responsibility, where sustainable growth is achieved by prioritizing the well-being of local communities. By addressing the critical healthcare gaps in Moheshkhali, Excelerate Energy is helping to build a healthier, stronger and more resilient society. Excelerate Energy's dedication to community development through this initiative reflects a vision for a future where no one is deprived of essential medical care, where businesses actively contribute to social progress and where healthcare is accessible, reliable and life-changing for those who need it most.
