Bangladesh reported three dengue deaths in the 24 hours before Monday morning, bringing the 2025 death toll to 215. The Directorate General of Health Services recorded 782 new hospitalizations for viral fever, raising total cases this year to 50,689. Hospitals currently treat 851 patients in Dhaka, and 2,473 receive care nationwide.
The health directorate issued guidelines on Sept. 16 requiring all hospitals to establish dengue wards and specialized medical teams. Facilities must provide NS-1 testing, emergency care, and adequate medications for patients. Hospitals must form treatment boards comprising medicine, pediatrics, and specialist physicians to oversee dengue care. Directors must coordinate with city corporations to conduct mosquito eradication campaigns around hospital premises. The World Health Organization states that no specific dengue treatment exists, but early detection lowers severe dengue fatality rates.
