Collected PhotoEight more people have died of dengue in the country in the last 24 hours. During the same period, 1,595 dengue patients were admitted to hospitals across the country.
Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) shared the information on Tuesday.
According to the report, the number of new hospital admissions and deaths has made the dengue situation more concerning this year. Hospitals across the country are facing increasing pressure to provide treatment to dengue patients. The rising number of cases, particularly in Dhaka and other regions, has made it important to ensure proper medical services.
Health experts have advised people to destroy Aedes mosquito breeding grounds, keep their surroundings clean and prevent water from accumulating anywhere. They have also urged people not to ignore fever and to seek medical advice quickly.
Experts said city corporations and relevant authorities must strengthen mosquito control activities to prevent dengue alongside public awareness.
