“A total of 33 crash survivors including 27 children are now undergoing treatment here,” NIBPS Direc-tor Professor Dr Mohammad Nasir Uddin told at a media briefing at the institute yesterday.
He said three critically wounded crash victims were being treated at the NIBPS Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and “one is now on life support system”.
Apart from the four, the NIBPS said nine jet crash victims being treated there were categorized as “se-verely” wounded patients while the rests were receiving treatments at different wards with burn wounds.
The director of the facility said NIBPSD was expecting to discharge several more crash victims by this week while so far four wounded were released after treatment.
Uddin said NIBPS deviated from an earlier plan to release three victims yesterday reconsidering their condition and decided to discharge them after another dressing.
The NIBPS chief some of the expert physicians coming from Singapore, China and India already left Bangladesh and some others were preparing to leave soon.
