Tunisia’s hospitals are experiencing a significant increase in patients suffering from chronic respiratory failure due to the ongoing heatwave. The extreme temperatures are exacerbating pre-existing conditions and leading to more severe cases. Contributing to the problem are frequent power outages, potentially impacting medical equipment and patient care. These outages further strain the healthcare system already burdened by the heatwave’s impact. The situation highlights the vulnerability of Tunisia’s infrastructure and public health system to extreme weather events. Health officials are urging vulnerable populations to take precautions. This surge in respiratory cases presents a growing challenge for Tunisian hospitals.
