Rozina Akter, who lost her right leg in a road accident in the Dhaka’s Banani area on April 20, died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Sunday morning.
She breathed her last at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) around 7:00am, Dr Samanta Lal Sen, National Coordinator of the hospital’s burn unit, told the media.
Rozina, 18, was taken to the DMCH burn unit on April 25 from National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) as she had been suffering from respiratory problems.
On April 20, an Uttara bound BRTC double-decker bus coming from Mohakhali hit Rozina, a domestic worker, when she was crossing the road near the Chairman Bari of Banani around 8:30pm.
The rear wheels of the bus ran over her right leg after she fell on the ground.
She was rushed to NITOR immediately after the accident.
Hailing from Dhobaura Upazila of Mymensingh district, Rozina worked as domestic help for nine years.
Rozina lost her leg three days after Rajib Hossain, a student who had lost his right hand after it got stuck between two buses in the city’s Banglamotor area on April 3, died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
