Govt committed to providing treatment of July revolution injured: Touhid

Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain has said that the interim government is fully committed to providing comprehensive medical care and rehabilitation for those injured during the July Revolution.  

The adviser said this to reporters after visiting the injured people at the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) at Agargaon on Tuesday.

“The government is very serious about ensuring proper treatment for the injured. I want to reassure everyone that the support will continue as long as required,” he said.

He said that the government would ensure job placements for those affected based on their qualifications as part of their rehabilitation process.

“We have also decided that if our doctors determine that treatment is not possible here, we will arrange for them to receive treatment overseas,” he said. 

The student-led July Revolution faced brutal suppression by the ousted Awami League government leaving many of the injured still hospitalized.
