Standard Chartered Bangladesh has recently collaborated with United Trust to make sure the consistent supply of life-saving medical oxygen to the patients at MA Rashid Hospital in Jamalpur.
To solve issues of availability, quality, affordability, and supply, Standard Chartered Bangladesh donated a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Medical Oxygen Generation Plant to M A Rashid Hospital in Jamalpur, said a press release.
The plant’s total installed capacity of 303 litres/minute will provide over 80 ailing patients with a constant supply of much needed oxygen.
The PSA Medical Oxygen Generation Plant was inaugurated by Robert Chatterton Dickson, British High Commissioner to Bangladesh, who attended the event as a special guest, along with Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, and Moinuddin Hasan Rashid, Chairman & Managing Director, United Group.
Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, said, “Sustainable access to oxygen, at times, is the difference between life and death for patients. The need for oxygen continues to increase, while availability remains low – especially outside the major cities of Bangladesh. Now, patients and their families in Jamalpur can rest easy knowing that they will receive the oxygen they need, when they need it. This is not a donation or a reactive response to an unprecedented pandemic – instead, it is an effort, on the Bank’s part, to support long-term capacity building for better health care services for communities in need.”
Moinuddin Hasan Rashid, Chairman and Managing Director, United Group, said, “As one of the four core focus areas of United Trust, it was always our greatest effort to provide the best healthcare services to the people of Jamalpur and the surrounding districts. Hence, we established M A Rashid Hospital, which will provide a model of healthcare services for all second and third tier cities.”
