Although it was supposed to be a 100-bed unit, it had to return deficient crores of takas due to space complexity. This unit, which is the last hope of the burnt patients of the entire Chattogram division, seems to be burning like a dim lamp.
Although the capacity is only 26 beds, this unit has 60-70 patients per day. Not only that, the number of doctors is only 5. These doctors have to fight hard to serve such a large number of patients. In addition, due to the crisis in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) crisis, serious patients have to be taken to Dhaka.
