Diarrhoea outbreak in districts


Diarrhoea has broken out in different parts of the country as temperatures soar and safe drinking water becomes unavailable.

Doctors and nurses have been facing great difficulties to provide treatment due to sudden arrival of diarrhoeal patients at the hospitals over the last couple of days.
They said the number of diarrhoea cases have increased suddenly due to soaring temperatures and lack of safe drinking water.

Pirojpur's civil surgeon Dr Md Hasnat Yusuf Zaki said the number of diarrhoea patients has suddenly increased due to lack of rain and intense heatwave now sweeping across the country.

Our Patuakhali Correspondent reports: The number of diarrhoea infected patients in Patuahali is rising at a geometric rate. Some 321 patients have been admitted to different hospitals of the district being infected with diarrhoea during the last 24 hours. According to the government's estimates, one person died at Baufal and Patuakhali Sadar upazilas each during the past 24 hours. However, the local sources said minimum 15 people have died after being infected with diarrhoea in the two upazilas. Locals said all of them died at their own homes.

Meanwhile, a serious crisis of oral saline has appeared in the district. Salines are not available at hospitals and pharmacies. Though some sell salines but take higher prices.
