Bank shares Eid happy moments with children at the NBK Hospital
‘Visit emotional & overwhelming’
KUWAIT CITY, June 27: National Bank of Kuwait’s (NBK) family paid a visit to NBK Children’s Specialty Hospital at Sabah Medical district to share Eid happy moments with children suffering from permanent ailments.
NBK Public Relations Officer, Yaqoub Al Baqer said that NBK staff have always devoted a considerable part of their time to comfort the children and present them with felicitations and gifts as part of NBK’s corporate social responsibility program.
“Sharing the happy moments of Eid Al Fitr and other similar occasions with children is our pleasure. We are proud that NBK devotes such attention to supporting Kuwait society and providing compassion and support for those in need, including sick children. NBK’s commitment to shoulder its corporate social responsibility was the basic motive that led NBK to build its children hospital at Sabah Medical district before 17 years” Al Baqer added.
It’s worth mentioning that NBK opened recently the first stem cell therapy unit in Kuwait, the new state-of-the-art cancer wing for NBK Children’s Hospital. This unit will serve as the only children’s bone marrow transplant center in Kuwait and will expand the hospital’s ability to treat children with cancer and blood diseases.
The visit to the hospital was emotional and overwhelming for both the children and NBK staff.
NBK’s visits to hospitals and care centers reflect the Bank’s high sense of duty and responsibility towards all those in need from different sectors of society. It is a well rooted tradition that has been carried out by NBK each year in its efforts to continuously have an active role in the Kuwait society.
