Year-on-Year Comparison
Last year, Bangladesh saw its worst dengue outbreak on record, with 575 deaths and over 101,000 cases. While this year’s official death toll remains lower so far, health experts are warning that the infection rate remains concerning.
Authorities have urged city corporations and local administrations to intensify mosquito control measures as the peak transmission season continues.
