Dr. Shawon Bin Rahman confirmed that second-grade student Shreya Ghosh was released after her condition improved.

Bangladesh has reported one new COVID-19 death and one confirmed case in the past 24 hours, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). The deceased was a male aged between 21 and 30. A total of 48 samples were tested, resulting in a positivity rate of 2.08%. So far in 2025, the country has recorded 30 deaths and 720 infections from COVID-19.

In the 24-hour period from 8 AM Tuesday to 8 AM Wednesday, two more people have died from dengue fever, raising the death toll to 81 this year. Of these, 39 deaths occurred in July alone. During the same period, 386 patients were admitted to hospitals nationwide with dengue symptoms. So far, 20,702 dengue patients have been hospitalized this year. The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) provides data on dengue patients admitted to hospitals, but many dengue sufferers are treated in private clinics or doctor chambers, meaning some cases go unreported in official government figures.

Professor Dr. Nasir Uddin, Director of the National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute, has confirmed that alongside physical treatment, the mental well-being of patients hospitalized with burn injuries from the recent plane crash is being given utmost priority.

Currently, 33 burn patients are admitted to the hospital. Among them, three are in the ICU in critical condition. Eight patients fall under the 'severe' category, suffering from comparatively less critical burns. Nineteen patients are receiving treatment in cabins, while the rest are admitted to other wards.

Dr. Nasir Uddin added that although no patient has been discharged yet, several are expected to be released gradually over the course of the week. Treatment and care will continue to ensure full recovery.

The United States has approved Lenacapavir, marketed as Sunlenca or Yeztugo, a groundbreaking new drug that offers near-complete protection (99.99%) against HIV with just two injections per year.

Developed by Gilead Sciences, the drug has been hailed as a major milestone in the fight against HIV. To ensure wider access, Gilead has signed royalty-free licensing agreements with six generic manufacturers, enabling affordable global distribution.

Lenacapavir has proven nearly 100% effective in preventing HIV infections, a virus that still affects approximately 1.3 million people annually. In recognition of its impact, the scientific journal Science named it the "Breakthrough of the Year" in 2024.

Two patients, Kazi Amzad Said (20) and Sabuj, have been discharged from the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery following significant improvement in their condition, Director Professor Nasir Uddin confirmed on Sunday.

A total of 36 patients remain hospitalized, with four in critical condition receiving treatment in the ICU. An additional nine patients are in the "CBR" category—serious but not immediately life-threatening. Nasir Uddin expressed hope that at least 10 more patients would be released next week. He also confirmed the deaths of two more patients and said that a specialized medical team including foreign doctors has been formed, with all necessary equipment available.

A total of 42 victims injured in the Uttara Diabari plane crash are currently receiving treatment at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. Among them, 8 are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and 6 are in critical condition, according to acting director Dr. Md. Nasir Uddin. Thirteen patients have been moved to general cabins, and two are scheduled to be transferred from ICU to intermediate care. Blood supply is adequate, and there is no immediate need for skin donations. The hospital is collaborating with specialists from Singapore, India, and China for international medical support.

A special medical team of five Chinese doctors and nurses arrived in Dhaka to assist in treating the injured from the recent Air Force training jet crash at Milestone School and College in Uttara. The crash claimed 29 lives and left 69 injured. Previously, specialist teams from India and Singapore also arrived to support treatment efforts. The Chinese Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are actively coordinating this international medical assistance.
