DHAKA, Nov 13, 2024 (BSS) - British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah 
Cooke today said the United Kingdom (UK) recognized the bravery and 
sacrifices of the youth during the Student-led uprising in July-August in 
Bangladesh.   

"The UK recognises the bravery of the young Bangladeshi people whilst calling 
for a democratic and inclusive future for Bangladesh," she said. 

The high commissioner made the remark while visiting the National Institute 
of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) along with Health 
Adviser Nurjahan Begum, said a British high commission press release here.  

Currently the visiting UK Emergency Medical Team is operating at NITOR. 

"My visit to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic 
Rehabilitation today with Hon. Health Adviser was another reminder of the 
horrific violence that happened during the Jul-Aug protests," said the 
British envoy. 

The highly experienced UK medical team has consulted dozens of injured 
students at the NITOR starting from 5 November. 

They are also carrying out two to three complex surgeries every day and 
providing physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.

"Speaking to the patients I met today, it was clear that the UK Emergency 
Medical Team has provided much-needed specialised treatment working together 
with the hospital team," Cooke said.
