As part of its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility, Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) recently donated a substantial amount to icddr,b, a globally renowned health research institute, to support its efforts in operating the hospital facility independently.
This donation is a part of icddr,b’s ambitious goal to raise a $100 million fund to ensure the continued delivery of essential healthcare services to the people of Bangladesh.
In a modest ceremony held in Dhaka, Alamgir Morshed, executive director and CEO of IDCOL, formally handed over the fund to Dr Tahmeed Ahmed, executive director of icddr,b.
Alamgir Morshed expressed IDCOL’s commitment to uplifting the communities and supporting icddr,b is a reflection of a combined dedication to sustainable development.
He added: “IDCOL has been working in sustainable development of the country and IDCOL is interested in future opportunities where both organizations can collaborate more effectively. Together, we can gain valuable insights to drive even greater improvements in public health.”
Dr Tahmeed Ahmed said: “We deeply appreciate IDCOL’s generous support, which is pivotal in helping us move towards operational independence. This partnership also presents a unique opportunity to further our collaboration by jointly assessing the impact of IDCOL’s clean cooking initiatives, particularly on health metrics like infant mortality rates.”
The event was attended by senior representatives from both organizations, including SM Monirul Islam, deputy CEO and CFO of IDCOL, along with division heads from icddr,b and IDCOL officials.
