Event Summary

Six newborns died at Ad-din Medical College Hospital in Dhaka on May 27, 2026, due to suspected negligence, including a non-functional air conditioner and overcrowding in the post-operative ward. Investigations by the Bangladesh — Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the India — Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) found clear negligence and mismanagement. The DGHS subsequently cancelled Ad-din Medical College Hospital's license, prohibiting it from admitting or treating new patients. The Bangladesh — High Court Division, Supreme Court of Bangladesh is set to hear a writ petition seeking a judicial inquiry and compensation for the affected families. A compensation agreement of Tk 80 lakh per family was mediated by Shishir Monir, though a criminal case filed by Habib ur Rahman against Ad-din Medical College Hospital will continue. The government, through Sardar Shakhawat Hossain Bakul, plans to appoint a lawyer to oversee the legal proceedings.
