DMCH burn unit restricts visitors
The authorities of the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital today limited visitors to the burn unit to prevent infections in arson victims undergoing treatment there.
“Defying an already existing restriction on visitors, many people are rushing to the unit everyday to see the victims,” said Dr Samanta Lal Sen, adviser of the burn unit.
Considering the sufferings of the burn victims, the authorities today re-imposed the restriction so that visitors cannot rush to the unit, Sen said.

The announcement came a day after at least 28 people suffered burns as two petrol bombs attacks inside a bus at the capital's Jatrabari in one of the worst arson attacks on public transport.
