Summit Group, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has made a donation to the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery to raise public awareness on burn incidence, says a press release.

Latif Khan, Vice Chairman of Summit Group, handed over the donation cheque to Dr. Samanta Lal Sen, National Coordinator at the institute, on Wednesday.

Latif Khan said, "Summit is pleased to be able to support the expediting of the institutional burn awareness programme of the nation's only tertiary burn care service provider, the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery."

Every day, about 300 patients take service in the Out-Patient Department (OPD) and another 100 patients receive emergency care at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute. Displaying awareness raising messages on prevention of burn incidence would create an impact in the health sector.
