A specialized UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) has arrived in Bangladesh to provide advanced medical care to those injured in the fighter jet crash at Milestone School on July 21.
The nine-member team includes highly experienced clinical professionals, such as infectious disease specialists, intensive care doctors, infection prevention and control nurses, and rehabilitation specialists, the British High Commission in Dhaka said on Saturday.
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke said the UK stands in solidarity with those affected by the incident and is committed to extending its support.
“I am confident that the specialized treatment offered by the UK medical team will accelerate the recovery and rehabilitation of the injured students,” she added.
Over the next three weeks, the team will work with local clinicians to deliver critical care and rehabilitation services to injured students receiving treatment at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery.
