Tunisia’s Young Doctors Organization (OTJM) has issued an urgent warning regarding an unprecedented increase in deaths and hospitalizations linked to the current heatwave. The OTJM is demanding the immediate declaration of a national health emergency to address the escalating crisis. They are also criticizing the Ministry of Health for the lack of publicly released official data regarding the extent of the impact. The organization stresses the severity of the situation, emphasizing the scale of the rise in heat-related fatalities. This call for action highlights growing concerns about the country’s preparedness for extreme weather events and the public health system’s capacity to cope. The OTJM believes a state of emergency is critical to mobilize resources and protect vulnerable populations.
