“The UK recognises the bravery of the young Bangladeshi people whilst calling for a democratic and inclusive future for Bangladesh,” said the High Commissioner.

British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke on Wednesday said her visit to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) with Health Adviser Nurjahan Begum was “another reminder” of the horrific violence that happened during the Jul-Aug protests.

“The UK recognises the bravery of the young Bangladeshi people whilst calling for a democratic and inclusive future for Bangladesh,” said the High Commissioner.

“Speaking to the patients I met today, it was clear that the UK Emergency Medical Team has provided much-needed specialised treatment working together with the hospital team,” she said.

The British High Commissioner visited the NITOR where the UK Emergency Medical Team is providing 

medical treatment to students injured during Jul-Aug protests.

The highly experienced team has consulted dozens of injured students, starting from November 5.

They are also carrying out two to three complex surgeries every day and providing physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.
