Doctor takes injured monkey at Sitakunda Health Complex in Ctg for treatment

UNB :
An injured monkey was treated at the Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex in Chattogram on Sunday (3 September).

Dr Nuruddin Rashed, a physician at the health complex, said, “I found the monkey sitting on the balcony of the hospital, when I was about to leave work on Saturday afternoon, and dressed its wounds.”

The next day (3 September), the monkey showed up at the hospital again, said the doctor who then bandaged its wounds.

“The monkey seemed to be in pain and some of the wounds had started to rot.

This could have happened due to electric shock from sitting on power lines,” he said, adding, “I wanted to know the whereabouts of the money when I joined the office today.

The monkey was seen sitting on a branch of a tree by the hospital.”

Coastal Forest Department (Sitakunda range) Officer Kamal Uddin said the upazila livestock office is responsible for treating the wounded monkey.

Commenting over the issue, Upazila’s Livestock Officer Tahmina Arju said the upazila health complex funded the monkey’s treatment.
