Sukumar Sarkar ;The Indian Medical Team consisting of specialists from two top hospitals of India — Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi — returned to India this evening after completing its mission in Bangladesh. The four-member team came to Bangladesh on 23 July 2025 in pursuance of the assurance of support and assistance extended by Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, in the wake of the devastating air crash in the Milestone School and College in Dhaka on 21 July 2025.
During its stay in Dhaka, the Indian Medical Team worked alongside their Bangladeshi counterparts at the National Institute of Burn & Plastic Surgery (NIBPS), offering specialized medical advice to support treatment and recovery of the victims of the Milestone tragedy. The Indian team expressed satisfaction with the treatment protocol being followed at NIBPS and exchanged expert opinions in dealing with the most critical cases.
India remains ready to promptly extend any further support required by Bangladesh with regard to critical medical care and rehabilitation of those injured in the tragic incident, including any need for further advanced treatment in India.
The visit of the Indian medical team in the wake of this national tragedy in Bangladesh is a reflection of the deep-rooted nature of people-to-people relations and the enduring bonds of empathy that connects our two countries.
