The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has joined forces with Manabik Shahajya Sangstha (MSS) to provide comprehensive eye care services to the workers and staff of garment factories.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by BGMEA Secretary General, Md. Faizur Rahman, and MSS Adviser, Tarikul Ghani, in the presence of BGMEA President Faruque Hassan at BGMEA Complex on January 14.
This partnership seeks to bring these essential eye care services directly to the garment factory workers and employees.
MSS established its Eye Care Program to identify and treat preventable blindness and provide affordable, comprehensive eye care services to underserved populations.
Under the MoU, MSS will organize temporary eye care camps within the premises of BGMEA to provide a range of services such as eye examinations, vision testing, and the provision of eyewear. BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said, “BGMEA is committed to improving the well-being of the garment workers. The association has taken various initiatives for ensuring welfare of garment workers and will continue its endeavors in the coming days.”
