The international medical teams are currently in Dhaka to provide specialised healthcare services to victims of the recent plane crash at Milestone School and College. The medical teams have been working alongside local healthcare professionals to ensure critical treatment and trauma care for the injured, many of whom are young children. Ten members from Singapore, eight from China, and four from India were present in the meeting.
During the meeting, Mr Yunus expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the rapid response and medical support extended by the healthcare professionals. He commended their dedication and solidarity at a time of national crisis and emphasised the importance of international cooperation in emergency healthcare, a statement from Mr Yunus office said.
“These teams have come not just with their skills, but with their hearts. Their presence reaffirms our shared humanity and the value of global partnerships in times of tragedy,” said Professor Yunus.
Mr Yunus also acknowledged the swift diplomatic coordination that enabled the teams to arrive and begin their work without delay. He urged the physicians to maintain long-term connections with Bangladesh, even virtually, for institutional collaboration, medical education exchange, and sustained engagement in capacity building and innovation in the healthcare sector. He emphasised that such partnerships could lay the foundation for lasting cooperation in public health and emergency preparedness.
The team of specialists from Delhi’s Dr Ram Manohar Lohia and Safdarjung hospitals reviewed each of the critical cases, exchanged views on the treatment methodologies and conveyed their assessment on future courses of treatment. “The visit of the Indian doctors and nursing officials follows PM Narendra Modi’s assurance to extend all possible assistance and support in the wake of the tragic incident of plane crash in Dhaka on 21 July 2025,” Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
