A chartered flight of a locally owned passenger carrier landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka in the evening, said an employee of GD Assist.
In the last week of March, one of the stranded Bangladeshi families contacted GD Assist Ltd from Bangkok with a request to help them repatriate the mortal remains of their beloved father who unfortunately died during his treatment in Bangkok.
Considering the humanitarian ground, GD Assist, being the largest healthcare management company in Bangladesh, started to work towards bringing back the family along with the dead body.
Immediately, GD Assist chartered a flight of a local carrier and started coordinating with the High Commission of Bangladesh in Thailand and other relevant authorities for making it happen.
In view of the above, few other Bangladeshi families who were stranded in Bangkok as well reached out to GD Assist and expressed their willingness to get assistance for evacuation from Bangkok.
GD Assist Managing Director Syed Moinuddin Ahmed mentioned that the firm is proud to have been able to make some little contribution to the country’s people during this corona-riddled grave period.
“After getting approval from authorities concerned to bring the stranded Bangladeshis back home, GD Assist further arranged for all the 48 passengers to have COVID-19 screening tests in a renowned hospital in Bangkok,” he added.
