Leading steel manufacturer KSRM has donated advanced medical equipment worth nearly Tk2 crore to Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH), aiming to strengthen the hospital’s capacity to provide critical healthcare services and improve treatment for thousands of patients.
The medical equipment was officially handed over at a ceremony held at the hospital’s conference room on Saturday 27 June. KSRM Deputy Managing Director Selim Uddin handed over the equipment to Additional Secretary (Budget) of the Ministry of Health Arif Ahmed and CMCH Director Brigadier General Mohammad Taslim Uddin.
The donation includes four hemodialysis machines, four state-of-the-art real-time 4D ultrasound machines, and a GE-brand Color Doppler imaging system. Hospital officials said the modern equipment will significantly enhance diagnostic and emergency care services, particularly for critically ill patients.
Speaking at the event, Additional Secretary Arif Ahmed said the budget allocated for the 2,200-bed Chattogram Medical College Hospital is often insufficient to meet the growing demand for healthcare services.
“As a result, many underprivileged patients struggle to afford proper treatment. KSRM’s generous contribution will greatly benefit patients and improve the hospital’s service capacity,” he said, urging other industrial groups to come forward with similar support.
CMCH Director Brigadier General Mohammad Taslim Uddin praised KSRM’s longstanding commitment to humanitarian causes, saying the company has consistently stood beside the hospital during times of need.
“In every crisis, KSRM is among the first to respond. We consider the company a trusted partner in humanitarian initiatives. These advanced medical devices will help save the lives of critically ill patients and ensure better healthcare services at affordable costs,” he said.
Representing KSRM, Director (Sales and Marketing) Jasim Uddin reaffirmed the company’s commitment to social responsibility.
“The KSRM family is proud to stand beside Chattogram Medical College Hospital in its humanitarian efforts. Serving people has always been one of our core values, and we will continue supporting initiatives that contribute to public welfare,” he said.
Among others present at the ceremony were KSRM Director Jasim Uddin, Deputy Director Dr Ilias Chowdhury, Assistant Director Dr Kazi Saiful Alam, Dr Deb Prasad Chakraborty, Dr Ruma Bhattacharya, KSRM Deputy General Manager Wahiduzzaman, Media Adviser Mizanul Islam, Corporate Physician Dr Mezbah Uddin, Dr Junaid Ahmed, Brand Coordinator Moniruzzaman Riyad, and senior officials from both KSRM and Chattogram Medical College Hospital.
