Staff Reporter : In observance of International Women’s Day, Huawei has organized 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.

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.

No matter whether an employee is male or female, performance is the quality we seek in them and we have found that both males and females are capable to deliver quality performance.
