Upholding its CSR commitment, Bayer Pakistan has extended financial support to key education and health institutes for an adult women's literacy program and to improve access to quality healthcare for patients from under-served communities in the country. Bayer Pakistan has provided funds to The Citizens Foundation (TCF) to help run Aagahi Adult Literacy Centers, reaching out to 18,000 women across 68 cities and towns in Pakistan. Approximately 25% of the program will be operated by funding provided by Bayer.
Additionally, Bayer Pakistan is contributing to sponsor a consulting clinic in the upcoming expansion of The Indus Hospital, Korangi which provides absolutely free, quality treatment to millions of deserving patients.
Bayer has also supported The Kidney Centre (TKC) with funding for a state-of-the-art stationary X-Ray machine which is widely used in diagnostic procedures for countless patients. The company has also supported the Afzaal Memorial Thalassemia Foundation (AMTF) in purchasing life-saving medicines to support the treatment of children suffering from thalassemia; a common disease in Pakistan.
"Commitment to the societal development of the countries in which we operate is a cornerstone of Bayer's corporate policy," said Dr. Imran Ahmad Khan, MD and CEO Bayer Pakistan. "We recognize the importance of contributing to the communities we work with, and we believe that like most developing nations, the best way to contribute here in Pakistan is to help improve the educational and health facilities available to our population," he added. "This aligns perfectly with our purpose: Science for a better life."
