Nowhere to go

Woman treated at DMCH waits for family

For the last two months, Rakhi has been waiting for someone to come and take her home.

The forty-year-old hardly recalls her memories of life.

She was admitted to the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with a leg injury and had a surgery on July 7 last year.

Rakhi was discharged from DMCH on November 22 last year.

According to the hospital record, the woman experienced an accident in Mugda area and locals admitted her to the hospital.

Now, she is living on the diets allocated for other patients with nobody to care for her and nowhere to go.

DMCH Director Brig Gen AKM Nasiruddin said they contacted the Department of Social Services. A process to send her to a government shelter in Faridpur is underway, he added.
