An average of 300 diarrhoea patients are treated daily in this specialized hospital. But currently the number rises to 450-500 people. According to hospital data, an average of 15 patients are being admitted every hour. From April 7 till 2pm on April 16, at least 4,528 patients were admitted to the hospital. Doctors say the whole country, including the capital, is facing mild to moderate heatwave. Hence, the demand for water in the body is increasing. As a result, diarrhoea is spreading through water. Most of the patients coming to the hospital are children. Photo by Habibur Rahman/Abaca/Sipa USA
