Last update: 2 hours ago

Measles Outbreak: Bangladesh reported nine more child deaths with measles-like symptoms in 24 hours, pushing the combined confirmed-and-suspected death toll to 698 (605 suspected, 93 lab-confirmed) alongside 893 new suspected cases and 52 confirmed cases. Dengue Update: Dengue remains high, with 198 new cases and at least one death in 24 hours, taking cases to 5,515 and deaths to 13. Vitamin A Campaign: The National Vitamin A Plus drive is set for June 28, aiming to reach nearly 24–25 million children nationwide with capsules delivered from 8am to 4pm through 1,760 centres (DSCC alone: 590,538 children). Rural Health Gaps: Parliament heard that 880 X-ray/ultrasound machines are out of service at upazila facilities, with many beyond repair, worsening referrals to urban hospitals. TB Diagnostics Boost: Global Fund-backed work will speed TB diagnosis using a near point-of-care molecular test in Bangladesh, with tongue-swab sampling and results in about an hour. India Travel Access: India will resume tourist visa services for Bangladeshis from June 28 via five visa centres, while medical/urgent humanitarian visas continue. Flood Risk: Teesta flooding has stranded thousands of families in northern districts, with authorities opening all barrage gates and calls for faster shelter, water, medicine and emergency supplies.
