Shahreen Ahmed, one of the injured passengers of crashed US-Bangla Airlines flight, has been admitted to the burn unit at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) after she arrived in Dhaka from Kathmandu, Nepal.
She was taken there right away after the Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight she was on landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport Thursday afternoon.
Although she was admitted in the burn unit's ICU, doctors said her condition was stable and they were hoping for her full recovery.
Shahreen's mother Ferdousi Moshtaq was seen at the hospital, but she did not talk to the media.
At a press briefing at DMCH, burn unit coordinator Dr Samanta Lal Sen said: "There is a fracture on Shahreen's leg and she suffered 5% burns on her body. Her full recovery is possible as her current condition is stable."
"We are running some tests. We will find out whether she needs surgery once we get the results. She is in better shape now. We will be able to help her make a full recovery," he said.
Shahreen is one of the four Bangladeshi survivors of the plane crash who were released from Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital (KMCTH) on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, from the hospital bed in Kathmandu before her departure, Shahreen told reporters: "I'm going back to Dhaka where my treatment will continue. There is no point in remain stuck here on foreign land.”
Shahreen, who sustained both burn and physical injuries, said her brother would accompany her in the Biman flight that landed in Dhaka at 3:40pm.
An ambulance carrying her, two nurses and her relatives started for DMCH from there around 4:15pm. It reached the hospital around 5pm.
