In observance of International Women’s Day, Huawei has organised a medical awareness session at Huawei South Asia representative office in Dhaka for its female employees. This initiative was a part of Huawei's ongoing commitment to its employees’ wellbeing and highlighted the company's dedication to fostering a healthy and inclusive workplace.
On Saturday, Huawei Bangladesh shared this information in a press release sent to the media.
The session aimed to provide valuable counselling on urinary health, specifically UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection), which is a common issue among women. Dr. Sarkar Kamrun Jahan Jhinuk from United Hospitals Dhaka discussed various aspects of UTIs, including risk factors, symptoms, preventive measures, and treatment options in the session.
She emphasized that Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can often be prevented with some simple lifestyle changes. By drinking plenty of water, maintaining personal hygiene and avoiding tight-fitting clothes, the chances of moisture build up, bacterial growth, and ultimately UTIs can be reduced.
