Standard Chartered Bank Confirms Sponsorship

We are delighted to sponsor Cycle a Difference – an amazing challenge that brings together countries and individuals from all walks of life to cycle for newborns.

Standard Chartered Bank is a leading international banking group committed to building a sustainable business over the long-term. We operate in some of the world’s most dynamic markets and have been for over 150 years.

Our aim is to give something back to the communities we operate in. One of the ways we do this is by sponsoring inspirational people, projects and events. The doctors and nurses inspired us by their hunger for knowledge, dedication and determination to advance newborn care in Vietnam.

Their call to action was the recognition that the critical shortage of appropriately trained nurses was a major factor in why newborn mortality remained high. It was their drive and determination that secured international partners and resources to develop Vietnam’s first specialist newborn nurse training programme – Learning for Life.
