German hospitals' heatwave preparedness

Hospitals in Germany are facing significant challenges due to rising temperatures and inadequate preparedness for heatwaves, as many lack effective air conditioning systems because of funding shortages and administrative burdens. A recent study showed that 60% of hospitals do not implement appropriate measures to handle heatwaves, with the number of heat-related deaths expected to exceed five thousand annually by the mid-21st century. This puts substantial pressure on the healthcare system, especially during periods of extreme heat, highlighting the need for investments and improvements to address the impacts of climate change.
