Japanese envoy visits healthcare facilities in Bhashan Char

Japanese Ambassador IWAMA Kiminori on Thursday visited Friendship Primary HealthCare Center (FPHCC) at Bhasan Char Island to attend opening ceremony of a Japan funded project.

An NGO named 'Friendship' will implement "The Project for Procurement of Medical Equipment for Pathological Tests and Dental Care" with the support of Japanese Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGHSP).
The project is expected to offer continuous and efficient medical services to "Rohingya" patients in Bhasan Char by providing the necessary equipment for pathological tests and dental care such as a Biochemistry Analyzer, a portable Dental X-ray, and others, said a press release.

"I hope this equipment will contribute to the provision of quality healthcare services and improve the healthcare environment on Bhasan Char, thereby supporting Bangladesh's efforts to help Rohingya people," said Ambassador IWAMA.

Japan has supported 213 NGO projects through its Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects (GGHSP).
