Press coverage
Named in 73 articles since September 2017; number 91 among bodies in the last 12 months.
1 article from October 2025 to September 2026, against 2 in the 12 months before.
July 2020: 11 articles against 0.4 expected.
Health ministry and DGHS must take responsibilityJune 2020: 6 articles against 0.2 expected.
No dengue case reported in 24 hours: DGHSThe total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.
