Bangladesh: Dengue death toll crosses 1,000-mark

Bangladesh is in the grip of a dengue nightmare like never before. Over 1,000 patients have died of the virus in the first 9 months of 2023, that's more than the combined toll from 2000 when record-keeping on dengue deaths started. Hospitals are full to capacity, with the government pushing to expand dengue wards. Awareness drives have also been launched to stem the spread.
