The Directorate General of Health Services has designated the 800-bed DNCC Hospital in Mohakhali as a clinic for the treatment of dengue patients, reports bdnews24.com. “We were admitting dengue patients before this, but we have started doing it officially now,” he said. “As dengue patients are admitted, we will try to administer the same care they would get at other government hospitals. The ICU has ventilator support for COVID patients, but if necessary we can shift dengue patients there as well. We have two ICU units and will increase the number if necessary.”The DNCC Dedicated COVID Hospital in Mohakhali was launched in 2020 to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
