In observance of International Women’s Day, Huawei organised a medical awareness session for its female employees at Huawei South Asia representative office in Dhaka on Saturday.

 The initiative, a part of Huawei’s ongoing commitment to its employees’ wellbeing, highlighted the company’s dedication to fostering a healthy and inclusive workplace, said a press release.


The session aimed to provide counselling on urinary health, specifically urinary tract infection, which is a common issue among women.

Dr Sarkar Kamrun Jahan Jhinuk from United Hospital discussed various aspects of UTIs, including risk factors, symptoms, preventive measures, and treatment options in the session.

She emphasised that UTIs could 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.’ 

Linxiao, Huawei HR director, inaugurated the session. He said, ‘At Huawei, we prioritise performance. 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.’

Besides this, Huawei is also very focused on employees’ wellbeing. That’s why we have OPD and IPD insurance facility for our employees, he added, mentioning, ‘Moreover, we frequently arrange health awareness sessions for them.’
