BRAC Bank Completes Contributing 25,000 Taka Each To 414 Injured During Movement

BRAC Bank has taken a significant step in supporting those affected by the recent anti-discrimination movement by disbursing 25,000 taka each to 414 injured individuals during the protests.

The bank’s swift action reflects its commitment to standing with the people of Bangladesh in times of need. Earlier, the bank announced a two crore taka fund from its CSR funds to support the treatment of the injured. This disbursement is part of the effort.

BRAC, the world’s largest NGO, came forward to help in this effort by mobilizing its field force to reach eight major hospitals in Dhaka, including Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Mugda Medical College Hospital, National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital, National Institute of Ophthalmology, National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, and National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. Beyond Dhaka, information was collected from 25 districts to ensure widespread assistance coverage for critically injured patients.
