KARACHI (HRNW): In response to the intensifying heat and the potential for a severe heatwave in Karachi, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has decided to establish dedicated heatwave wards in all hospitals under its management.
According to the KMC spokesperson, these specialized wards are being set up following directives from the Mayor of Karachi to ensure citizens receive immediate and improved medical assistance.

The initiatives include:
-

-
Public Awareness: Awareness banners and displays outlining preventive measures against the heat will be placed at hospitals and along major thoroughfares.
