Ad-Din Medical College Hospital in Dhaka’s Moghbazar has decided to provide Tk 8 million in compensation to each of the six families whose children died at the hospital. The decision was reached through joint discussions between the families and the hospital authorities, according to lawyer Shishir Monir, who spoke to reporters at the Supreme Court chamber on Sunday afternoon.

Monir stated that each family will receive Tk 8 million as compensation, in addition to previously announced benefits that will remain in effect. He also confirmed that each family has already been given Tk 1 million. The compensation arrangement marks a resolution between the hospital and the affected families following the deaths of the six children.

The announcement reflects a negotiated settlement between the parties involved, though further details about the circumstances of the deaths or additional legal proceedings were not provided in the report.
