On the occasion of its 33rd founding anniversary, NCC Bank has undertaken various social responsibility initiatives.
As part of this, the bank’s foundation, in collaboration with Bangladesh Eye Trust Hospital, recently organized a free eye treatment camp at Moulvi Shamsul Karim College in Chhagalnaiya, Feni.
The eye care camp was inaugurated by the bank’s chairman Md Nurun Newaz Salim.

Throughout the day-long camp, 1,125 poor patients received free treatment, medicine, and spectacles.
Patients selected for cataract surgery will be provided free transportation to and from Dhaka, food and accommodation, surgery (using a phaco machine), as well as post-operative medicine and dark glasses.
In an advisory speech delivered via digital platform to the patients attending the eye camp, the MP for Feni-1 Munshi Rafiqul Alam Maznu welcomed this initiative and said: “The helpless and underprivileged people of Feni district will benefit from NCC Bank’s program and be saved from blindness.”
