Over the last three months, India faced at least 56 deaths from 25,000 heat stroke cases, with 5,000 occurring in May alone. Shockingly, this data excludes severely affected states like UP, Delhi, and Bihar. In the first part of this episode, we explored the devastating effects on agriculture, labor, and daily life. In the second episode, we focus on the challenges of detecting and tackling heat waves, and the urgent need for better data and solutions. Listen to host Anirban Chowdhury in conversation with Aditya Valiathan Pillai of SFC, Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, Chairman - Research cell, Kerala state IMA, and Dr S Chatterjee, Internal Medicine Physician, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Delhi, in the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast!
