The market began to open in a limited range in the country from Sunday. In addition, ready-made garment factories have already opened. Meanwhile, the same day, the Health Department said coronavirus infection was detected in 7 out of 8 people in 24 hours on Sunday, which is still the highest.
Previously, the health minister feared that the number of victims would increase if the blockade were relaxed and other institutions, including markets, were reopened.
Experts say that to keep the wheel of the economy moving, you need to gradually open up everything else, including the market. However, it must be done in accordance with hygiene standards.
Otherwise, the number of victims could increase dramatically.
Public health expert said. Lenin Chowdhury said that although it was unfortunate, public health rules were not followed while the confinement was relaxed in Bangladesh.
As a result, they predict that the infection will become more visible. According to him, this can lead to two types of results. One, the number of infected people will increase. A large part of the population will carry a healthy carrier or an asymptomatic virus. And the second is that those who have a little immunity, age, or other health problems have to go to the hospital sick.
In the fight against coronavirus in the country, instead of focusing on preventive measures, they are taking curative or drug-dependent epidemics. He thinks that such a system will bring more evil than good.
‘The number of deaths will increase, the number of victims will increase. Adding and subtracting, as much as he thinks he would benefit from the launch of economic activities, the economy would have collapsed had it not been for the increased costs and burdens on the health sector. Because if people get sick, the cost to the government and the family economy will increase, ”he said.
Health care Than Condition?
The government says it is ready to deal with the coronavirus. But the Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh, who is already in Bangladesh, said the measures taken so far to prevent the entry of the virus and deal with the situation “were not satisfactory.”
According to the Department of Health, there are 734 isolation beds in the country. The number of ICUs is 329 and the number of dialysis patients is 102.
However, it is not certain if all ICUs have all facilities, including ventilators.
The Department of Health says that coronavirus samples are being analyzed in more than 30 laboratories across the country.
The country’s largest Covid-19 hospital is being established in four convention centers and an exhibition tent at the ICCB Bashundhara International Convention City next to the Bashundhara residential area in Dhaka. There are 2,013 beds here. Additionally, patients will be kept isolated and receive portable oxygen.
However, Dr. Nasima Sultana, Additional Director of the Department of Health, said in response to a question about the measures taken to deal with the increase in the number of infections due to the relaxation of the closing conditions, the measures will be taken. when necessary. “The steps being taken are visible and the process is ongoing,” he said.
In addition, 19 private hospitals have been allowed to treat Kovid-19 patients on Sunday, the number of laboratories for testing increases every day, a large hospital is being established in Bashundhara, these are one step at a time and are in course. The government will do what the situation requires.
He said that the government is not very rich. Because hospitals cannot be built for 160 million people beforehand.
Under normal circumstances, there is only one and a half lakh hospital beds in the country, he said. Nasima Sultana.
When asked what new steps have been taken to facilitate the closure, he said, “That’s why the new hospital is here, more will be needed.”
Front Condition Than To drive Yes?
If the number of infections increases, experts have given a different opinion on whether it is possible to deal with current health facilities. Many say that if the number of infected people increases, the current health system will collapse. Once again, many say that the current healthcare system can be used in a planned way to treat the coronavirus outbreak.
Public health expert said. Lenin Chowdhury said that in the current health system, if the number of patients with coronavirus increases in the coming days in the country, it is necessary to understand the current situation.
He cited the example of a secretary who had recently passed away and said that an additional secretary had been admitted to the Kurmitola Hospital after not visiting the hospital. But he died without receiving the services of the UCI.
An additional secretary died at Kurmitola General Hospital on Saturday afternoon after falling ill with kidney complications. Her daughter complained that although she had no Covid-19 symptoms, she was unable to admit her father even after visiting various hospitals. Later he was admitted to the Kurmitola Hospital.
Lelin Chowdhury said this shows that the current healthcare system cannot handle the current challenge. If the number of hospital admissions increases in the future, medical care will be on the verge of collapse.
However, Bay-Nazir Ahmed, a former director of the health department’s disease control department, gave a different opinion. He thinks that if the country’s current health system can be used in a planned way, then perhaps the patient’s stress can be managed in the coming days. He said that people need to make a plan on how to get the full treatment.
Care must be taken to ensure that non-greedy patients are not left out while providing medical services to covid-19 patients. He said that the private medical sector is currently dormant between the public and private medical systems. He thinks that if activated, the medical capacity will increase.
“If people get 20% of medical care from the government system, they get 80% from the private sector.”
Also, it is important to make sure that no one gets infected while going to the hospital for medical treatment.
He thinks that not only the capital Dhaka, but also other parts of the country should receive Kovid patient services. He opined that Kovid patients should be treated in 491 upazilas as a way to get out of this. Source: BBC Bangla
