Wednesday, 13 July 2022
Seventy-three dengue patients were hospitalised in 24 hours until Tuesday morning amid a rise in the mosquito-borne disease in Bangladesh, authorities said, reports UNB.
Among them, 42 patients were hospitalised in Dhaka while the remaining 31 patients in other districts, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
As many as 141 dengue patients, including 107 in the capital, are now receiving treatment at hospitals across the country.
The dengue cases are rising in the capital allegedly due to insufficient measures taken by the two Dhaka city corporations for preventing mosquito-borne diseases like dengue.
On June 21, the DGHS reported the first death of the season from the mosquito-borne viral disease.
