Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) hospital with 800-bed capacity has been declared as dedicated one to provide healthcare services exclusively for dengue patients.

As part of expansion of healthcare facilities, dengue corners have been opened at every public hospital to handle the mosquito-borne disease, an official release said.

Alongside ensuring necessary healthcare facilities, the government also converted some state-run specialized hospitals as dedicated ones to cope with sharply increased dengue patients.

Earlier, the government has fixed Taka 50 as fee instead of Taka 100 to test dengue at public hospitals for the next one month.
 
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has opened a control room to oversee overall situations of dengue and introduced hotline numbers 16263-- to provide treatment facilities in case of emergency.
