Chinese medical team arrives today to treat burn victims

Responding to a request from the Interim Government of Bangladesh, a Chinese emergency medical team comprising five burn-specialist doctors and nurses is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on Thursday evening.

The team will immediately proceed to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, where they will offer medical assistance and carry out assessments of patients injured in the recent Uttara jet crash.

According to official sources, the Chinese team will work closely with local doctors to evaluate the condition of critically injured patients and recommend advanced treatment options if necessary. Their arrival follows similar support from other friendly nations amid the ongoing emergency response.

This move is part of a broader international cooperation effort aimed at ensuring the best possible care for the victims.

Meanwhile, at the request of the Bangladeshi side, Yunnan Province of China urgently organised a team of experts from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University to conduct a remote video consultation with the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery of Bangladesh.

Chinese experts in burn treatment, plastic surgery, pediatric nephrology and pediatric respiratory medicine joined Bangladeshi doctors to assess the conditions of several critically injured patients from the recent military aircraft crash and jointly discussed treatment plans.
