Four to five victims injured after a Bangladesh Air Force aircraft crashed into the Milestone School and College in Uttara on July 21 are likely to be discharged on Saturday after significant improvement to their health, said Dr Nasir Uddin, Director of the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery (NIBPS).
Currently, 40 burn patients are undergoing treatment at the burn unit. Four to five of them are likely to be discharged tomorrow, Dr Nasir said during a press briefing at the institute this afternoon.
He noted that five of the injured remain in critical condition and are being treated in the Intensive Care Unit. 10 others are in less critical condition and are under complete bed rest.
Additionally, 10 more patients are in the post-operative unit, while 15 have been moved to cabins, he added.
Dr Nasir also said that two patients who were on life support showed signs of improvement. However, two children succumbed to their injuries earlier today at the facility.
A team of international burn specialists from Singapore, China, and India visited the institute and held consultations regarding the treatment of the injured.
"They also visited the patients and discussed potential procedures," he added.
