Heat-related illnesses, including heatstroke, pose significant health risks, particularly during periods of extreme heat. Vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions are at higher risk. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and in severe cases, life-threatening conditions. The initiative by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare aims to mitigate these risks by improving data collection and response mechanisms.
