Europe chief Hans Kluge has called on governments to recognise extreme heat as a health crisis and strengthen health system preparedness.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--health js-article-content\">\n<p>The heatwave, which has claimed thousands of lives across Europe, has exposed the need for health systems to better prepare for extreme temperatures. As temperatures topped 40\u00b0C in parts of the continent, emergency calls increased, hospitals treated more patients with heat-related illnesses, and older adults and people with chronic conditions faced heightened risks.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Recognise extreme heat as a health crisis and act before temperatures peak,&#8221; Kluge wrote in a post on X on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Heat preparedness must be operational: freeing beds, protecting high-risk patients, securing cooling, checking backup power and supporting health workers,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The heat has already put pressure on health services in several countries. In France, emergency rooms have reported a fourfold increase in heat-related conditions such as heatstroke, dehydration and hyponatremia.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, the London Ambulance Service said the extreme heat contributed to its busiest day on record, responding to 8,869 emergency calls last Friday.

As temperatures topped 40\u00b0C in parts of the continent, emergency calls increased, hospitals treated more patients with heat-related illnesses, and older adults and people with chronic conditions faced heightened risks.&#8221;Recognise extreme heat as a health crisis and act before temperatures peak,&#8221; Kluge wrote in a post on X on Monday.&#8221;Heat preparedness must be operational: freeing beds, protecting high-risk patients, securing cooling, checking backup power and supporting health workers,&#8221; he added.The heat has already put pressure on health services in several countries. In France, emergency rooms have reported a fourfold increase in heat-related conditions such as heatstroke, dehydration and hyponatremia.In the UK, the London Ambulance Service said the extreme heat contributed to its busiest day on record, responding to 8,869 emergency calls last Friday. Several NHS hospitals also declared critical incidents after cooling failures disrupted medical equipment, operating theatres and wards, adding pressure to services already managing heatstroke, dehydration and vulnerable elderly patients.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/06\/29\/who-europe-chief-calls-on-governments-to-treat-extreme-heat-as-a-health-crisis&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/81\/80\/17\/1200x675_cmsv2_4ba11370-5e64-5019-a907-72ff88f21d02-9818017.jpg&#8221;] No Comment Thousands of migrants queue for repatriation in South African camps Europe News Why P\u00e9ter Magyar is reluctant to align with the EU on Ukraine Culture news McKinsey&#8217;s Kelsey Robinson on the current marketing AI paradox Europe News Neither pro nor con: EU declines to take stand on AC amid heatwave [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2017270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2017270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2017270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2017270\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2017270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2017270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2017270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
