AIT partners with BANCAT to support cancer patients

AIT, a Bangladesh-founded, United States-headquartered Artificial Intelligence and frontier technology company formerly known as Astha IT, has partnered with the Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust to support cancer patients through accommodation and transportation facilities.

Under the partnership, AIT will sponsor support facilities at Mosabbir Memorial Alok Nibash, a dedicated residential centre for people undergoing cancer treatment.

The partnership was marked by a visit by members of AIT's business team to Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust facilities, where they spent time with patients, caregivers and staff working to support them.

The visit gave the team an opportunity to listen to personal stories, understand the challenges faced by families during cancer treatment, and see the impact of compassionate support during difficult times.

The visit concluded with the signing of an agreement formalising AIT's support for the Alok Nibash programme.

Many cancer patients travel from different parts of Bangladesh for treatment, and finding a safe and affordable place to stay often adds further stress to an already difficult journey.

Mosabbir Memorial Alok Nibash was established to ease that burden by providing accommodation, a supportive environment and transportation facilities to major hospitals.

Through the sponsorship, AIT will contribute to Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust's mission of ensuring that no one has to face cancer alone.

AIT Chief Operating Officer Arafat Nizam said established businesses have the power and responsibility to create meaningful impact beyond their core operations.

"We are honoured to support Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust's efforts and hope this partnership contributes, in a meaningful way, to the well-being of cancer patients and their families," he said.

Representatives from Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust welcomed the partnership and emphasised the importance of collective support in sustaining services for patients who often travel long distances to receive treatment.

The collaboration reflects AIT's ongoing commitment to creating positive social impact and supporting initiatives that improve lives in the communities it serves.
