Reinforcing its commitment to
corporate social responsibility and advancing community well-being, ahlibank
has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sanubader Patient Service
Team to extend essential support to more than 15 female cancer patients from
low-income households. Coinciding with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Omani
Woman’s Day, the initiative reflects the bank’s continued efforts to address
pressing societal needs through meaningful partnerships that enhance quality of
life, promote social solidarity and provide sustainable support to vulnerable
segments of the community.
The agreement was signed by Her
Highness Sayyida Dr. Taghreed Turki Al Said, Honorary President of Sanubader
Patient Service Team, alongside Ms. Jumana Aflah Al Hashmi, AGM – Head of
Marketing & Corporate Communications at ahlibank, during a ceremony held at
the bank’s Head Office in Wattayah. The collaboration marks another significant
step in strengthening the bank’s community engagement efforts, with a
particular focus on supporting women facing challenging health and financial
circumstances.
Under the agreement, ahlibank will
extend its support across three key areas designed to address the practical and
everyday needs of female cancer patients. The first focuses on housing
assistance through covering the rental expenses of medical accommodation for
one year, benefiting patients travelling from remote areas to Muscat to undergo
treatment. The second provides essential medical equipment to enhance patients’
comfort, facilitate home-based care and improve their overall well-being. The
third area focuses on providing essential electrical home appliances to female
patient-led households, helping improve living conditions and ease daily
responsibilities during challenging periods.
Together, these three pillars
represent an integrated approach to community support that extends beyond
immediate medical needs to address the wider circumstances affecting patients
and their families. By alleviating financial pressures, improving access to
suitable accommodation and enhancing everyday living conditions, the initiative
seeks to provide greater stability, dignity and peace of mind, enabling
beneficiaries to focus on their treatment and recovery.
Commenting on the initiative, Jumana
Al Hashmi, AGM – Head of Marketing & Corporate Communications at ahlibank,
stated: “The true value of corporate social responsibility lies in our ability
to understand the challenges faced by the communities we serve and translate
that understanding into meaningful action. At ahlibank, we believe that
supporting patients goes beyond addressing their immediate medical needs; it
also means recognizing the financial, emotional and everyday challenges that
accompany their treatment journeys. Through this partnership, we aim to extend
practical and compassionate support that brings greater stability and
reassurance to women and their families. More importantly, we seek to
demonstrate how purposeful collaboration can create a lasting impact on
individual lives and contribute to a more caring and resilient society.”
Guided by its vision of responsible
and sustainable growth, ahlibank remains committed to strengthening
collaborative efforts with local community organizations and implementing
initiatives that respond to evolving societal needs. By investing in partnerships
that place human well-being at their core, the bank continues to reinforce its
role as a partner in social responsibility, contributing to a more inclusive,
compassionate and resilient society.
