UK team flies in to aid Milestone school crash survivors

A specialised UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) has arrived in Bangladesh to provide advanced medical care to those injured in the 21 July aircraft crash at Milestone School.
The nine-member team includes infectious disease specialists, intensive care doctors, infection prevention and control nurses, and rehabilitation experts. Over the next three weeks, they will work with local clinicians at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery to deliver critical care and rehabilitation services to injured students.
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke said: "The UK stands in solidarity with those affected by this tragic incident and wants to extend its support. I am confident that the specialised treatment offered by the UK medical team will accelerate the recovery and rehabilitation of the injured students."
