Qatar Charity, in collaboration with the Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP), has distributed 140 manual and electric wheelchairs, along with 100 blood pressure monitoring devices as part of its development and humanitarian initiative in Bangladesh.

The distribution was formally handed over during a programme at the CRP-Mirpur branch on Thursday, reports UNB.

NGO Affairs Bureau (NGOAB) Director General (in-charge) Md Anwar Hossain; Qatar Charity Country Director Dr Mohammad Amin Hafiz Ahmed Omar; Founder of CRP Dr Valerie A. Taylor and CRP Chairman Mohammad Saidur Rahman, were present at the time, among others.

Speaking at the event, Anwar emphasised the critical role of collaboration between governmental organisations, healthcare centres, and NGOs in supporting vulnerable communities.

“The government of Bangladesh deeply values the contributions of organisations like Qatar Charity, which work tirelessly to promote an inclusive society. This generous distribution will significantly enhance rehabilitation efforts and positively impact countless lives,” he said.

Dr Omar expressed Qatar Charity’s commitment to fostering social inclusion and improving the quality of life for underserved populations. “Qatar Charity is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities,” he stated.

“This distribution, carried out in collaboration with CRP, will greatly improve mobility and healthcare support for many beneficiaries,” he said.

“At CRP, our mission is to provide holistic care to individuals with disabilities. This distribution not only supports physical rehabilitation for the beneficiaries but also equips us to better monitor and manage the health of them. The collaboration with Qatar Charity is making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve,” said Dr Taylor.

In addition to that, Qatar Charity has extended similar distributions in collaboration with various hospitals and healthcare centres across the country, ensuring that their contributions benefit a broader segment of the population and strengthen healthcare access for individuals with disabilities nationwide.
