KARACHI (PR) – Standard Chartered’s Group Head of Human Resources and Communications, Tracy Clarke, recently paid a visit to Layton Rahmatulla Benevolent Trust Eye Hospital (LRBT.
Tracy was taken on a tour by LRBT CEO Saqib Hameed where she witnessed patients being treated and cured for eye-related diseases using state-of-the-art equipment.
LRBT provides free and comprehensive eye-care to poor and underprivileged citizens, and Standard Chartered partners with the hospital as part of Seeing is Believing - the Bank’s global programme to help combat preventable and curable blindness. Its recent joint efforts include vision screenings for 800 underprivileged children across Pakistan in conjunction with World Sight Day celebration.
Tracy said, Large corporations can help fight avoidable blindness by playing to their strengths, which include raising funds and staff volunteering.
I’m very proud that Standard Chartered has played a significant role in supporting the hospital using our staff, networks and connections. What impresses me more than anything else is how efficiently it’s being run, and I’m proud with what we have done in Pakistan for eye care.”
