As many as 2,021 patients are being treated in hospitals across Bangladesh, United News of Bangladesh reported. Earlier on September 16, the DGHS announced new instructions for public hospitals to ensure treatment of dengue patients. According to the guidelines, all hospitals in Bangladesh must establish dedicated wards for dengue treatment and set up a specialised medical team. The DGHS said hospitals must ensure special arrangements for dengue patients undergoing treatment. Patients undergoing treatment for dengue in hospitals should be kept in a designated ward or room and ICU support must be prioritised when required.
