About Shastho360
The people and purpose behind our mission.
Our Mission
To make accurate, accessible, and trustworthy healthcare information freely available to everyone — empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health, with a focus on serving the Bangladeshi community and other underserved populations.
Who We Are
We are a group of young Americans with Bangladeshi roots, driven by a shared commitment to improving access to trustworthy healthcare information. Having seen the confusion and misinformation that often surrounds health advice, especially within our own families and communities, we felt a deep responsibility to create a solution.
Our mission is to give back by providing people with reliable, clear, and free healthcare guidance—empowering individuals to make informed decisions for their well-being. Through this work, we strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who need it most.
