Professor Dr. Mohammad Nasir Uddin, Director of the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, has announced that none of the victims currently receiving treatment following the Uttara plane crash require blood donations. Speaking at a press conference held on the night of Thursday, July 24, he addressed concerns and inquiries from the public regarding the needs of the injured.

He stated that the condition of the burn victims has not necessitated any blood transfusions. Additionally, the institute has sufficient reserves of skin graft materials, making external skin donations unnecessary at this time. Dr. Nasir Uddin added that although many well-wishers have reached out to offer financial assistance, the government is currently covering all costs and providing comprehensive support for treatment and recovery.

Providing an update on the condition of the patients, Dr. Nasir Uddin confirmed that two more students succumbed to their injuries on Thursday, bringing the number of critical patients to six. He noted that the 13 patients who were reported in critical condition on Wednesday remain in the same state, but there is hope for improvement in the coming days. On a more optimistic note, he informed that 13 patients have been moved to general cabins over the last two days, and many of them may be discharged within the next few days.
