Deputy Minister of Health on heatwave death toll
Members of Parliament inquired from the Minister of Health about the reason behind the lack of an official report on the victims and injuries caused by the heatwave that began in July 2026. This includes a breakdown of cases by states, age groups, and the number of those requiring admission to intensive care units. They also asked about the ministry’s plan to address repeated power outages in healthcare facilities and the measures taken to protect patients relying on ventilators and home medical systems during these outages. Additionally, they pointed out the absence of an emergency health declaration or the activation of monitoring committees, as well as the lack of protocols for handling heatstroke and heat exhaustion.
