The emergency department at Dhaka Medical College Hospital resumed operations today (2 September).

Bachchu Mia, in-charge at DMCH police outpost, said, "The emergency services are running, but there is a shortage of doctors."

He added that extensive security measures have been implemented, with a significant presence of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), army personnel, and police at the hospital to provide protection to the doctors.

It will be determined after 8pm whether the outpatient department will reopen.

On 31 August, a patient died at DMCH, after which agitated loved ones alleged negligence on the part of the doctors and assaulted three of them at the hospital premises, prompting the doctors to call a strike.

They withdrew their call for a 'complete shutdown' of medical services across the country upon assurances from the health adviser to the interim government of security and arrest of the individuals who manhandled the doctors.

Subsequently, two arrests were made, and security was beefed up.

Senior Ansar member Mahbubur Rahman mentioned that only two or three doctors are available in the emergency department, and they are providing care amid security concerns.
