One more death was reported from dengue in 24 hours till this morning, raising the fatalities from the mosquito-borne disease in Bangladesh to 1,699 this year
Loss of 24 lives in a day is unacceptable.
Prompt actions needed to prevent future crisis
The government's approach to dealing with the ongoing dengue outbreak in the country seems rather apathetic.
Bangladesh’s dengue situation is critical, with one of the highest mortality rates in the world and the worst outbreak in history. This outbreak stems from the abundance of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and the presence of the virus in human populations.
Advancements in genetic engineering have led to the development of genetically modified mosquitoes that are resistant to dengue virus infection.
The World Bank has approved a $200 million loan to help improve primary healthcare services and prevent mosquito-borne diseases like dengue in Bangladesh.
