Ebl, Shishu Sasthya Foundation to work for poor children's healthcare

Eastern Bank (EBL) has partnered with the Shishu Sasthya Foundation, Bangladesh (SSF, B), to support paediatric healthcare services to underprivileged children, according to a press release.
Ahmed Shaheen, additional managing director of EBL, handed over a cheque of Tk 6.1 million to Engineer Reza Karim, secretary general, Shishu Sasthya Foundation, at a ceremony held at the bank's head office in the capital on Tuesday.
The money will be spent on upgrading pediatric inpatient services, including the renovation of two wards, installation of modern medical equipment, enhanced nursing stations and oxygen systems. With these improvements, the hospital will be equipped to serve approximately 2,400 children annually, providing critical medical care to those in need.
Ahmed Shaheen said, "Healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The partnership with the foundation is an attempt to ensure that no child is left without the care they deserve due to financial constraints."
Engr. Reza Karim said, "EBL's support will definitely strengthen the endeavors of the SSF, B for the distressed."
