The Indian medical team in Bangladesh has completed its humanitarian medical mission and returned to India this evening. The four-member delegation, consisting of specialists from two of India’s premier institutions—Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi—arrived in Dhaka on July 23 in response to the devastating Milestone school aviation tragedy.
Following the tragic plane crash at Milestone School and College on July 21, 2025, the Government of India, under the directive of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, promptly extended medical assistance to Bangladesh. The medical team was dispatched to offer expert care and consultation.
During their stay in Dhaka, the Indian medical team in Bangladesh worked closely with their Bangladeshi counterparts at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery (NIBPS). They provided critical treatment insights, evaluated the condition of the most severely injured patients, and collaborated on medical strategies for recovery and rehabilitation.
