Health risks of heat
Such extreme temperatures pose serious health risks, especially for older people, people with chronic diseases and workers without access to air -conditioned workplaces. Experts say that many hospitals and nursing houses in Germany are not well equipped to cope with the heat.
Henriette Neumeyer, Deputy Chairman of the German Hospital Federation (DKG), told the RND media group that most hospitals in the country are missing suitable air conditioning systems due to long -term lack of investment. “It burdens both patients and employees,” she said. Nowadays, many hospitals rely on simpler measures such as shading and fans.
