Experts at an event titled "Post-Flood Health Challenges: Multi-Stakeholder Review of Field Realities and Action Priorities," called for the formation of an Emergency Health Response Team to coordinate efforts and quickly provide necessary resources.
At the event, organised by BRAC and the UHC Forum at the Brac Centre Auditorium in Dhaka, they noted that health complexes in flood-hit areas are facing acute shortages of essential medical supplies, including oral rehydration solutions, intravenous fluids for cholera patients, and antibiotics specific to diarrhoea.
