BRAC Bank, in collaboration with United Hospital, organized a day-long health camp and awareness session on fatty liver prevention and treatment.
The event took place on May 21, 2025, at the bank’s Head Office in Dhaka, aiming to promote health awareness among coworkers and their families. Through this initiative, BRAC Bank reaffirmed its commitment to employee well-being by providing access to essential medical services and expert consultations, fostering a workplace culture of health and care.
The health camp featured two key awareness sessions led by expert medical consultants. Chowdhury Tasnim Hasin, Chief Clinical Dietitian, shared expert advice on ‘Diet to Prevent Fatty Liver,’ emphasizing the importance of nutrition in managing liver health.
Dr. Iftikhar Imam, Junior Consultant in Gastroenterology, conducted a session on ‘Fatty Liver – Symptoms, Complications, and Management,’ providing valuable insights into implications of having fatty liver on overall health and its prevention.
In addition to the educational sessions, the health camp offered free consultations and basic medical tests, including general medical check-ups, specialized check-ups for pregnant women and new mothers, and personalized nutrition plans. Employees also benefited from essential health screenings, such as blood sugar, blood pressure, height and weight measurements, and BMI assessments.
The initiative aimed at raising awareness about liver health and empower coworkers with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed health decisions. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance of such initiatives in promoting a culture of health and wellness within the workplace.
