Prime Bank PLC has entered into a strategic collaboration with Meena IVF & Fertility Care Ltd to provide specialised healthcare benefits to its customers and employees, strengthening the bank’s efforts to deliver value beyond traditional financial services.
The agreement was formally signed at a ceremony held at Prime Aspire in Dhaka. The initiative is intended to enhance the welfare benefits available to Prime Bank stakeholders while improving access to reproductive and fertility healthcare services.
Under the terms of the partnership, customers enrolled in the Prime Bank Neera programme and employees of the bank will receive exclusive discounts and preferential access to a wide range of services offered by Meena IVF & Fertility Care Ltd. The healthcare provider is recognised as one of the leading institutions in Bangladesh specialising in fertility treatment, reproductive health consultations, and advanced assisted reproductive technologies.
The agreement was signed by Shaila Abedin, Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Liability at Prime Bank PLC, and Dr Lubna Yasmin, Chief Consultant at Meena IVF & Fertility Care Ltd. Senior representatives from both organisations attended the ceremony, including Hossain Mohammad Zakaria, Head of Customer Proposition at Prime Bank, and Mehmud Hasan Joy, Senior Manager of Operations at Meena IVF & Fertility Care.
Bank officials stated that the collaboration reflects Prime Bank’s broader strategy to integrate lifestyle and healthcare privileges into its customer offerings. Financial institutions in Bangladesh have increasingly begun forming partnerships with healthcare providers in recent years, recognising the growing demand for accessible and affordable medical services among their clients.
Fertility treatment, in particular, remains a specialised and often costly area of healthcare. Through this partnership, eligible customers and employees will benefit from reduced costs across several essential services such as fertility consultations, diagnostic testing, and advanced reproductive procedures.
The collaboration is also expected to raise awareness of reproductive health issues while encouraging more individuals and couples to seek professional medical guidance when facing fertility challenges.
