JP Nadda directs special heatwave units in all central govt hospitals

Union health minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Wednesday directed the officials to ensure that all hospitals are prepared to provide the best healthcare to those affected from heatwave.

While reviewing the heatwave situation and preparedness of central government hospitals, Nadda directed for special heatwave units to be started in those



hospitals.

Nadda's instructions to his officials comes amid blistering heat that has swept major parts of the country. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that heatwave to severe heatwave conditions are likely to continue over several parts of North India on Wednesday and gradually abate thereafter due to an approaching western disturbance towards northwest India.
