Midland Bank Limited has donated a fully equipped ambulance to Anjuman Mufidul Islam, one of Dhaka’s most respected voluntary welfare organisations. The contribution, made through the bank’s Islamic Banking Compensation Fund, underscores its commitment to advancing social responsibility and supporting essential public services.
Anjuman Mufidul Islam has long been recognised for its humanitarian work, providing free ambulance services for patients, as well as dignified transport for deceased persons across Dhaka. The organisation also conducts a wide range of charitable activities, including distributing food, offering medical support, and assisting vulnerable families during emergencies. The addition of a new ambulance is expected to significantly strengthen its operational capacity.

In his remarks, the CEO highlighted the bank’s ongoing dedication to supporting community welfare initiatives, particularly in healthcare and emergency services.
