Three survivors of the US-Bangla plane crash were released from Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) on Wednesday.
They are: Mehedi, his wife Swarna, and Sheikh Rashed Rubayet.
Around 3:00pm they were released from the hospital as they showed significant improvement, said Dr Samanta Lal Sen, National Coordinator of DMCH’s Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit.
Dr Samanta Lal is the head of a 13-member medical board formed by the
government for better treatment of seven Bangladeshi survivors.
Survivors — Mehedi and his wife Swarna — arrived in Dhaka on March 16 after undergoing treatment at Kathmandu Medical College Hospital.
They were directly taken to the burn and plastic surgery unit of DMCH upon their landing at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Rashed Rubayet, 33, was admitted to the burn unit of the DMCH on his arrival from Kathmandu on the following day.
The US-Bangla Airlines flight BS211, a 76-seater Bombardier Dash 8 Q-400, slammed on an empty field, caught fire, and crashed on March 12.
At least 50 people, including 27 Bangladeshis, were killed in the crash.
