Cox’s Bazar has witnessed a slight improvement in the dengue situation this month. According to the district Civil Surgeon’s Office, no deaths have been reported so far in November, though 308 new infections have been recorded.
Throughout the year, a total of 7,717 dengue cases have been identified in the district, of which 5,720 are Rohingya refugees.
The disease has claimed 11 lives in 2025—10 Rohingya and 1 local Bangladeshi. Officials noted that although the number of infections is lower compared to the past two years, the death toll is relatively higher.
Civil Surgeon Dr. Mohammadul Haque said district hospitals, upazila health complexes, and field hospitals inside the Rohingya camps have been equipped with necessary medical supplies, along with special training for doctors and nurses.
To curb Aedes mosquito breeding, authorities have undertaken extensive cleaning drives in Cox’s Bazar town, Rohingya camps, and surrounding areas—including waste removal, clearing plastic debris, and cleaning drains and water bodies. These efforts, he added, have contributed to an overall improvement in the situation.
