Stanchart, Islamia Eye Hospital mark 20 yrs of fighting blindness

Standard Chartered and Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital (IIEI&H) recently celebrated 20 years of their dedicated partnership in fighting avoidable blindness and visual impairment in the country, says a statement.
Through initiatives that worked towards restoring sight, testing and preventing eye disease and raising awareness about eye health, Standard Chartered has touched millions of lives both across Bangladesh and the world.
Standard Chartered Bangladesh (SCB) began its first eye-health intervention with Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital in 2003.
This seminal intervention sparked the bank's previous global flagship community engagement programme "Seeing is Believing," which eventually went on to raise US$ 104.2 million and reached 250 million people's mark across 38 countries.
Despite "Seeing is Believing" achieving its published targets and winding up in 2020, SCB has continued to partner with IIEI&H for various health-related community engagement programmes.
