City Desk:
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) unveiled its Dengue dashboard, a data-driven monitoring tool designed to transform how city authorities track and respond to outbreaks, on Tuesday amid the worsening Dengue situation as one more death from Dengue was reported in 24 hours till Tuesday morning, raising the number of fatalities from the mosquito-borne disease in Bangladesh to 182 this year.
Developed through the DNCC Innovation Lab with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the dashboard will generate actionable insights for timely interventions while raising public awareness on dengue prevention, reports UNB.
Speaking as a chief guest Mohammad Azaz, Administrator of DNCC, said,”The Dengue Watch dashboard is more than a tool. It is a step toward transforming DNCC into a digitally driven, transparent, and accountable institution. By harnessing innovation, we can integrate health, environment, and governance to build a smarter, healthier Dhaka.”
Stefan Liller, UNDP Resident Representative in Bangladesh, reaffirmed UNDP’s support to innovation in urban health management.
“For UNDP, it has been a privilege to support the innovation efforts of DNCC. The Innovation Lab established in 2025 by DNCC and UNDP is striving to become a hub for smart, scalable, and citizen-centered urban solutions. The Dengue Watch Dashboard is one of its latest outcomes, and it shows what is possible when local leadership, data, and innovation come together.”
