Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus on Sunday thanked doctors and nurses from India, China, and Singapore for their support in treating victims of the recent plane crash in Dhaka.
In a post on the social media platform X, Yunus said that a delegation of 21 doctors and nurses from the three countries met him at the State Guest House Jamuna in Dhaka.
The international medical teams are in the capital to provide specialised care to those injured in the crash at Milestone School and College, many of whom are children.
The crash took place on Monday when a Chinese-made F-7 BGI training fighter jet suffered a mechanical fault shortly after take-off and crashed into a two-storey school building, killing 32 people, including 26 children.
“These teams have come not just with their skills, but with their hearts,” Yunus said during the meeting. “Their presence reaffirms our shared humanity and the value of global partnerships in times of tragedy.”

The interim leader praised the teams’ quick response and dedication during a national crisis and assured the visiting medical professionals of the government’s full support in helping them carry out their mission.
He also urged the doctors to build long-term ties with Bangladesh, including virtual cooperation in areas such as institutional collaboration, medical education exchange, and capacity building in the health sector.
“He emphasised that such partnerships could lay the foundation for lasting cooperation in public health and emergency preparedness,” the post added.
The delegation included ten members from Singapore, eight from China, and four from India. Chinese Ambassador to Dhaka Yao Wen and the Head of Mission from Singapore also attended the meeting.
Meanwhile, an Indian medical team had arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday to assist in treating the victims of the crash.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also expressed his condolences over the loss of life and offered support and assistance to Bangladesh following the tragedy.
