Chevron to help set up healthcare centre in Moulvi Bazar
Chevron Bangladesh and Sylhet Samaj Kalyan Sangstha (SSKS) signed an agreement on Sunday to set up a community healthcare centre near Chevron's Moulvi Bazar natural gas field at Kalapur union of Srimangal upazila.

Andrew L Fawthrop, president and managing director of Chevron Bangladesh, and Belal Ahmed, general secretary and chief executive of SSKS, signed the deal on behalf of their organisations, says a press release.

As per the deal, Chevron Bangladesh will support the SSKS to set up and run the community healthcare centre styled 'Surjer Hashi Health Centre', a USAID supported healthcare programme being run all over Bangladesh.

The healthcare centre is expected to become fully operational by mid December this year. Chevron will fund the project for the next three years.

Fawthrop said, "We are confident that this clinic will be as successful as the one we set up last year near our Bibiyana field."
