British High Commissioner Sarah Cooke has praised the bravery of the young people of Bangladesh while urging for a democratic and inclusive future for the country.
She visited the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) Wednesday along with Health Adviser Nurjahan Begum.
The UK Emergency Medical Team is providing medical treatment there to students injured during Jul-Aug protests.
The highly experienced team has consulted dozens of injured students, starting from 5 November.
They are also carrying out two to three complex surgeries every day and providing physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.
“My visit to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation today with Hon. Health Adviser was another reminder of the horrific violence that happened during the Jul-Aug protests," the High Commissioner said.
"The UK recognises the bravery of the young Bangladeshi people whilst calling for a democratic and inclusive future for Bangladesh," she said.
"Speaking to the patients I met today, it was clear that the UK Emergency Medical Team has provided much-needed specialised treatment working together with the hospital team."
