Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) has reported 165 deaths from the violence surrounding the quota reform movement which eventually intensified into anti-government protests.
Among the dead, 76 already had lost their lives before they were brought to the hospital. Another 89 died under hospital care at different times.
"As many as 2,200 people, injured in the violence during the quota reform movement, got treatment at our hospital. Among them, 786 were admitted to the hospital. Currently, 161 are still admitted," DMCH Director Brig Gen Md Asaduzzaman said on Sunday.
At least seven people are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and three of them are in critical state, he said.
The quota reform movement, which restarted in the first week of July, intensified on July 15 as violence sparked across the country. As the deaths mounted, the movement turned into anti-government protests calling for the Awami League government to step down.
Hundreds were killed between July 16 and August 5, when Sheikh Hasina resigned her premiership and fled to India. Several people hospitalised with injuries from the violence have since succumbed to their wounds.
