In Chitwan, which has seven local levels, the highest number of dengue infected people are within the Bharatpur Metropolitan Municipality. Then they are in Ratnanagar Municipality and Ichchakamana Rural Municipality. In Chitwan, dengue initially spread in market areas like Muglin, Kurintar and Fisling of Ichchakamana Rural Municipality. Then reached Bharatpur and Ratnanagar. Dengue and scrub have reached all the municipalities of the district.
Rupakheti said that despite the increase in infected people, there is no major problem in management. Patients with complex conditions did not come. There were no difficulties or problems in the examination and treatment. The management of the infected was done well," said Rupakheti. Until a month ago, the number of patients suffering from dengue was very high in Bakulahrah Hospital in Ratnagar. Half of the 15 beds in the hospital's medical ward were dengue patients. The medical superintendent of the hospital, Dr. Madan Gyawali, said that although dengue patients still come, the pressure is not as high as before.
