Muhammd Yunus thanks Indian, other foreign medical experts for treating Dhaka jet crash victims
A delegation of 21 physicians and nurses from Singapore, China, and India met with Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Sunday, when he thanked them for treating victims of the jet crash in Dhaka last week.
The medical experts are currently in Bangladesh to provide specialized healthcare services to victims of the plane crash.
During the meeting, Yunus focussed on the importance of international cooperation in emergency healthcare.
“These teams have come not just with their skills, but with their hearts,” Yunus was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune.
“Their presence reaffirms our shared humanity and the value of global partnerships in times of tragedy,” he said.
The Indian doctors said they visited Dhaka after PM Narendra Modi offered to support Bangladesh following the crash.
“India is willing to extend any further support that Bangladesh may need with regard to medical equipment or rehabilitation of those injured in the incident. If any patient needs further treatment in India, we can provide quick facilitation of that as well,” the lead doctor of the Team told Dhaka Tribune.
A 14-year-old, who was injured after a Bangladeshi fighter jet plane crashed at a school in Dhaka last Monday, died at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, media reports said.
The deceased person was identified as Shaheel Faravi Ayan.
He had sustained 40 percent burn injuries in the incident.
Ayan breathed his last at the hospital around 1:45am, Shaon Bin Rahman, resident surgeon of the institute, told Dhaka Tribune.
A fighter jet crashed into the Milestone School and College in Uttara on July 21, marking one of the major aviation tragedies in the country in recent times.
