Shamil Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic commercial bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ithmaar Bank, purchased sophisticated hearing aids to help two children regain their ability to hear.
The two hearing aids, which were purchased at a cost of BD22,000, were presented by the Shamil Bank deputy chief executive, Ahmed Abdul Rahim, to the Bahraini Society for Cochlear Implantation and Hearing Impairment president Dr Ahmed Jamal.
Dr Jamal said: "We are committed to working with people suffering from hearing disabilities and helping integrate them into the community.
"We have more than 55 people, including 21 children, on the society's waiting list for cochlear implantation.
"Shamil Bank's generous financial support will allow some of these people the opportunity to hear once again.
"The society will present the two hearing aids to the cochlear implantation team of the Ministry of Health, which will carry out the implantation," said Dr Jamal.
Mr Abdul Rahim said: "We are delighted to contribute towards helping improve the quality of life for children with hearing disabilities."
