Donating essential medical supplies to a community hospital

07 Oct 2024

As part of its commitment to building healthier and stronger communities, Intertek Bangladesh has donated essential medical equipment to Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital in Mirpur, Dhaka.

The team first connected with Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital during a programme of engagement with several community-based clinics and hospitals across Dhaka, with the aim of identifying opportunities to provide support. The hospital expressed an urgent need for oxygen cylinders and concentrators, having struggled with an insufficient supply. To help address this shortage, we donated eight oxygen cylinders with oxygen flowmeters and one oxygen concentrator. This equipment, which was originally stocked during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now being used in the hospital’s oncology department, which provides specialised care to patients undergoing treatment for cancer.

Ahsania Mission Cancer and General Hospital treated nearly 35,000 people last year, playing an especially important role in the fight against cancer in Bangladesh. With these additional resources, the hospital can serve its patients more effectively, ensuring that they receive crucial care without delays caused by equipment shortages.
