Prime Bank Foundation has stepped forward to support free of cost cancer and kidney treatment for underprivileged communities.
As part of this initiative, the Foundation has provided financial assistance to establish the Khalil-Malik Cancer and Kidney Screening Center at Chuadanga, according to a media release.
This support has been extended under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program of Prime Bank PLC.
A formal cheque handover ceremony was held today (September 23) at Prime Tower, Nikunja, Dhaka.
Maj Gen Dr. Md Nayeem Ashfaque Chowdhury (Retd.), Chief Executive Officer of Prime Bank Foundation, handed over the financial assistance cheque to Dr. Sadiqur Rahman Malik, Chairman of Khalil-Malik Hospital and Khalil-Malik Foundation.
Senior officials from both institutions were also present at the event.
Speaking at the ceremony, Maj Gen Dr. Md Nayeem Ashfaque Chowdhury (Retd.), CEO of Prime Bank Foundation, said, “Currently, around 22% of people in Bangladesh suffer from kidney diseases, while nearly 13% are affected by cancer. Due to high treatment costs, timely medical care remains out of reach for many patients. This new screening center will serve as a vital step in providing affordable primary screening and treatment facilities.”
