Prime Bank, CRP join hands for disability care

Prime Bank PLC has partnered with the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) to provide prosthetic and orthotic services and rehabilitation support to poor and marginalised persons with disabilities across Bangladesh.
The two organisations recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at Prime Bank’s head office in Dhaka. Md Ziaur Rahman, additional managing director and chief risk officer of Prime Bank, and Valerie A Taylor, founder of CRP Bangladesh, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.
Under the one-year partnership, the bank will provide funding through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme for prosthetic and orthotic devices, rehabilitation services and other essential care. The support will also cover physiotherapy, occupational therapy and mental health services, according to a press release.
CRP will deliver the services in line with professional and medical standards, while Prime Bank will monitor the programme through regular reporting, reviews and impact assessments.
Speaking at the signing, Ziaur Rahman said the initiative aims to support dignity, independence and greater inclusion for people living with disabilities.
The partnership is intended to improve access to essential rehabilitation services for disadvantaged communities.
