Commenting on the initiative, Hasan said, "We at BRAC Bank are honoured to contribute to this vital initiative that embodies the spirit of service and compassion exemplified by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed. The oxygen plant will ensure patients have access to critical medical resources. Through the Sir Abed Kidney Dialysis Fund, we aim to alleviate the burden of healthcare costs for those facing financial hardship. Our commitment to the wellbeing of our communities is at the heart of our 'BRAC Bank Aporajeyo Ami' initiative, and we will continue to champion such causes for a healthier and more equitable society."
