A Chinese National Emergency Medical Team has arrived in Dhaka to provide advanced medical assistance to those severely injured during the recent student-led protests.
The team, consisting of 10 medical specialists from West China Hospital, one of China's leading healthcare facilities, landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) from Kunming at noon.
Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen, along with Sheikh Sayedul Haque, Additional Director General of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), welcomed the team upon their arrival.
Yao Wen stated that the Chinese government dispatched the medical team at the request of the interim government led by Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus.
"As a Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partner, China stands in solidarity with Bangladesh. This medical mission reflects the strong bond between our nations," he said.
The ambassador noted that this is the first emergency medical team sent to Bangladesh since the establishment of the interim government, marking a significant milestone in their bilateral relationship.
