Medical team from China to arrive June 8
A team of Chinese medical experts, who have first-hand experience in containing coronavirus and treating patients, is expected to arrive in Bangladesh with medical equipment on June 8.
Organised by the National Health Commission of China, the team will consist of 10 respiratory physicians, who will visit designated hospitals, quarantine centres, and testing centres, the Chinese embassy said in a statement.
They will hold discussions with their Bangladeshi counterparts and make calibrated propositions for containment and treatment during their two-week stay in Bangladesh, it said.
The visit is a reflection of Chinese President Xi Jinping's phone conversation with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on May 20, it added.
"We need to fight Covid-19 together and grow together," Hualong Yan, deputy chief of mission of the Chinese embassy in Bangladesh, told The Daily Star yesterday.
