The special rescue team dispatched to earthquake-affected Myanmar at the initiative of the Bangladesh government is continuing its humanitarian efforts relentlessly.
Following the devastating earthquake on March 28 that claimed numerous lives and caused significant damage to infrastructure, a special rescue and medical assistance team, supervised by the Bangladesh Armed Forces, was deployed to Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, on April 1, according to a press release issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
As part of the operation, the rescue team conducted a recovery mission at the earthquake-damaged Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Naypyidaw. Important documents and other items were recovered during the operation.
Meanwhile, the medical assistance team provided healthcare services at the 50-bed Zabuthiri Hospital and the 1,000-bed General Hospital in Naypyidaw on Monday.
In addition, the team conducted a special medical campaign in Pyinmana Township, also in the capital, where they treated 143 patients.
A total of 162 patients received treatment on Monday alone, including four who underwent complex surgical procedures.
To date, the Bangladesh medical team has provided medical care to 619 earthquake-affected patients.
This ongoing humanitarian mission, led by the Bangladesh Armed Forces, will continue on Tuesday in coordination with the local administration.
