Thai medical team arrives in Dhaka to treat injured victims of July uprising

A medical team from Thailand arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday to provide treatment to individuals injured during the July uprising. The visit comes weeks after a Chinese medical team assisted severely injured patients in major government hospitals. Many of those injured in July are still receiving care at various hospitals.

Earlier, Vejthani Hospital of Bangkok expressed interest in providing free medical consultations to the seriously injured patients. In line with this, a team of six, including three doctors from the hospital, visited patients at the National Orthopedic Hospital and Rehabilitation Institute (NITOR) and the National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital (NINS) in Dhaka.

Dr Kazi Shamim Uzzaman, Director of NITOR, said that the Thai medical team examined all 57 patients admitted there, focusing on 15 individuals with severe nerve and joint injuries.

The team's plan for nerve injury patients involves a wait-and-observe approach with regular check-ups and further surgery to be determined based on subsequent evaluations. For the remaining patients, the Thai team concurred with the ongoing treatment protocol.

At NINS, joint director Dr Md Badrul Alam said that the team examined seven seriously injured patients there.

The medical team is expected to provide a detailed report on each patient's condition on Thursday. Additionally, they expressed satisfaction with the overall treatment being provided at the hospitals.
