In response to the rising temperatures and the associated health risks, special emergency treatment units have been established in primary health centers and hospitals throughout the state. Health officials have announced this initiative as part of a broader surveillance effort to monitor and manage cases of heat-related illnesses.

With the summer months approaching, the potential for heatstroke, dehydration, and other heat-related ailments increases significantly. The newly set-up units aim to provide immediate care and support for individuals affected by extreme heat conditions. Medical professionals are being trained to recognize the symptoms of heat-related illnesses and to administer appropriate treatments promptly.

Officials are urging the public to stay vigilant during the heatwave and to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms such as dizziness, excessive sweating, or confusion. Community awareness campaigns are also being launched to educate residents on preventive measures, including staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
