Bangladesh’s special rescue and medical assistance team, deployed to earthquake-affected Myanmar, continues its relentless humanitarian operations.
Following the devastating earthquake on March 28 that caused significant loss of life and damage to infrastructure, the Bangladesh government dispatched a dedicated rescue and medical team under the supervision of the Bangladesh Armed Forces. The team arrived in Myanmar’s capital, Naypyidaw, on April 1.
According to a press release from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the rescue unit carried out operations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, recovering important documents and other essential items from the quake-damaged site.
In parallel, the Bangladesh Medical Assistance Team is providing vital healthcare services. Medical personnel treated patients at the 50-bed Zabuthiri Hospital and the 1,000-bed General Hospital in Naypyidaw today.
The team also conducted a special medical campaign in Pyinmana Township, offering treatment to 143 patients. In total, 162 individuals received care today, including four who underwent complex surgeries.
Since the beginning of the mission, the Bangladesh Medical Team has treated a total of 619 patients injured in the earthquake. 
This humanitarian initiative, led by the Bangladesh Armed Forces and coordinated with Myanmar’s local administration, is set to continue in the coming days.
