China medical team arrives to assess air crash injured

An emergency Chinese medical team will arrive here this evening to support treatment for the injured of Monday's tragic fighter crash in the city. 

"At the request of the interim government of Bangladesh, the emergency medical team consisting of five burn-specialist Chinese doctors and nurses will arrive in Dhaka on the evening of 24th July," said a Chinese embassy press release received Thursday morning. 

Upon arrival, the team will proceed to the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in the city, where they will offer all necessary medical assistance and conduct assessments of the injured.

Meanwhile, this morning, the Yunnan Province of China urgently organized 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, said the embassy. 

The initiative reflects the growing humanitarian cooperation between Bangladesh and China, particularly in times of emergency and critical need.
