Chevron Bangladesh has recently donated a frozen section machine to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery at an event at the NIBPS in Dhaka. 

This machine is used for cancer diagnosis and detection, said a press release on Monday.

The event was graced by the presence of Professor Dr Nazmul Hossain, director general of Medical Education, as chief guest, while Eric M Walker, president and managing director of Chevron Bangladesh, and Muhammad Imrul Kabir, director of corporate affairs, Chevron Bangladesh, attended as special guests.

Other notable attendees included Dr Mohammad Nasir Uddin, acting director of the NIBPS; Mohammad Lokman Hossain, director of health and medical; AKM Arif Akter, head of community engagement and sustainability; Shaikh Jahidur Rahman, media and communication manager; Tahsin Khan, community engagement and sustainability adviser; and Jahangir Kabir Khan, among others.

Nazmul Hossain stated, ‘This is one of the most renowned institutions in Bangladesh. The installation of such a machine will add a new dimension to medical services. Previously, due to lack of this machine, we had to send patients outside for biopsy tests, which wasted time. We thank Chevron Bangladesh for this valuable machine, which will benefit many people specially the medical surgeons.’

Muhammad Imrul Kabir mentioned, ‘We help the people in the areas where we operate in various ways. We work in four key areas: health, education, economic development, and the environment. This initiative is part of our healthcare support. We came to know that 80 per cent of the services provided by this hospital are to underprivileged people. We are delighted to be part of this journey.’

Eric M Walker said, ‘Chevron Bangladesh proud to be part of this initiative. We hope this will be useful for the patients in the future, and this partnership will continue to be beneficial.’

Nasir Uddin said ‘I thank Chevron Bangladesh for this great support. Without this machine, it is almost impossible for surgeons to complete their work fully. Recently, the number of oral cancer cases has been increasing. Due to lack of this machine, we cannot diagnose the disease in time. I believe this machine will help us in the timely diagnosis of cancer.’
