Public hospitals to make separate units for those injured in protests
Separate specialised, dedicated care units will be formed in all government hospitals in the country, aiming to ensure better treatment for those injured during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement protests.
The decision came after a meeting between the coordinators of the movement and the authorities concerned of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) today.
In the meeting, it was decided that no one should enter the specialised departments of the hospital except doctors, nurses and legal representatives of the patients as many students and people have been injured seriously and they are undergoing treatment at those departments.
