AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Shipbreaking Safety Crisis: Nine workers died after toxic gas exposure at Ferdous Steel in Sitakunda, with probes pointing to hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide buildup, raising fresh questions about “green” compliance and enforcement. Dengue Surge: DGHS reported 730 new dengue cases and two deaths in 24 hours, bringing totals to 23,173 cases and 67 deaths, with 1,648 patients in treatment. Measles Outbreak Worsens: Measles and measles-like deaths crossed 900 as eight more children died in 24 hours; cases and hospital admissions remain very high, with experts citing vaccination gaps, malnutrition, and delayed care. Primary Healthcare Upgrade: Government plans to upgrade all upazila health complexes to 151-bed facilities, adding dedicated mother-and-child beds, ICU capacity, and later dialysis services. Tobacco Health Burden: A new analysis highlights how smoking costs Bangladesh far more in health and economic losses than government tobacco tax brings in, with harms extending to families and non-smokers. Air Quality Note: Dhaka’s air quality was reported as moderate, a reminder to keep protecting vulnerable groups during pollution days.
