Fatullah Madrasa Fire Prompts Formation of Two Medical Boards

Fatullah:Dhaka Students hospitalized after a fire at a madrasa in Fatullah, Narayanganj, are receiving free medical treatment, as announced by State Minister for Health, MA Muhit. The students were affected by smoke inhalation during the incident.

According to United News of Bangladesh, two medical boards consisting of 13 to 14 specialist doctors have been established to supervise the care of the affected students. These boards are ensuring that all necessary tests and investigations are conducted without any cost to the patients.

The fire, which started on the second floor of the building housing the madrasa's library and administrative sections, led to respiratory issues among the students due to smoke exposure. Many students panicked and attempted to evacuate the building, which worsened the situation.

The state minister reported that many students are on the path to recovery, with an anticipated discharge of approximately 30 students by evening or night. Four students remain in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), with one requiring mechanical ventilation. The minister expressed optimism about their recovery, noting that they are receiving appropriate intensive care.
