Millions of people in Bangladesh live with diabetes without knowing it, and many discover it only when complications have already reached their eyes, kidneys, heart or feet. Yet with early screening, timely care and simple changes in daily life, diabetes can be prevented, delayed and managed well. To mark World Diabetes Day under the global theme "Early action on diabetes", Grameen HealthTech Limited (Shukhee), in partnership with Experto ReWell, hosted a seminar titled "Act Early, Live Life Shukhee" on 10 November 2026 at Telecom Bhaban.
Mohammad Solaimun Rasel, CTO and CBO of GHL, inaugurated the session. Md. Ashraful Hassan, Chairman, Grameen Group, attended as Chief Guest. He said, "Grameen's journey began with a belief in standing beside people. Today, that same belief is carrying us to the doorstep of healthcare. Through our eye hospitals, a person regains their sight; through safe sanitation, a family gets the foundation of a healthy life; and through digital initiatives like Shukhee, even people in remote villages receive quality medical care. We believe that only healthy people can build a prosperous society. Our commitment is to bring healthcare to every person through the power of social business." Dr. Ahmed Armaan Siddiqui, Chief Executive Officer of GHL/Shukhee, shared his vision of one ecosystem with a shared preventive health mission, from screening to measurable health outcomes. Mohammad Moinul Hakim, CEO of Experto ReWell, presented EverGreen Health™, LinX CGM and Whole-Body Digital Twin technology, showing how screening can lead to precision prevention.
