The UK Emergency Medical Team (EMT), funded by the UK government, has arrived in Bangladesh to provide specialised medical treatment to the students injured during the July-August protests.
They will be working at National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) from November 5 to 18 November, said the British High Commission in Dhaka on Tuesday.
This deployment is taking place in response to a formal request for assistance from the interim government.
The team consists of an orthopaedic surgeon, a physiotherapist and rehabilitation expert and a clinical coordinator.
The clinical experts of this team have vast experience in treating patients in conflict-affected areas worldwide.
Earlier, the Turkish government decided to provide free advanced treatment to seven Bangladeshis injured in the July-August mass uprising.
The decision was taken in response to the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for better treatment of those injured in the student-led movement.
