Slight increase in patients due to heat in Prague hospitals

Several hospitals in Prague have reported a slight increase in the number of patients due to the recent hot weather. Chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and asthma have been exacerbated, particularly among the elderly and pregnant women. Most cases involve dehydration, respiratory issues, and heat-related illnesses, though many individuals manage symptoms like nausea and headaches on their own. Hospitals emphasize the importance of hydration, proper clothing, and avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours as preventive measures.
