In 2006, UBL sponsored a two month long Nurses’ Training Programme to help upgrade the skills and capabilities of the nursing staff at the hospital. A specialist team of consultants from the Tata Institute of Social Science and Wockhardt Hospital, India conducted the training workshop.

Unilever Bangladesh most recently sponsored the third Operation theatre at the Hospital which is believed to have increased the efficiency of the surgeries by 40%. Approximately 500 indoor patients can be treated at the Hospital with its current upgraded equipments which have been provided by Unilever Bangladesh.

This initiative has radically enhanced the infrastructure and services at the hospital and has created an area of excellence in the city. The UBL management visits the hospital frequently to take patient feedback and meet with the administration to review the quality of services and do needs assessments.

The support provided to Maa, Shishu O General Hospital has provided Chittagong with facilities for high quality medical care for mothers and children from economically weaker sections of the society.
