According to the State Health Services Organisation (SHSO), three individuals are currently hospitalised at the Nicosia General Hospital due to heatstroke, with two of them being treated in intensive care units and reported to be in critical condition.
“We have a 34-year-old male who has been discharged from the ICU but remains under observation, and yesterday, a 66-year-old female was admitted to the ICU and is on a ventilator. There is also a 78-year-old female patient suffering from heatstroke who is being treated in a ward,” Charalambos Charilaou, spokesperson for the SHSO stated.
Additionally, a 25-year-old female who was previously hospitalised with heatstroke has since been discharged.
Charilaou further mentioned that “we are seeing daily cases of heat exhaustion presenting at the Emergency Departments of public hospitals, where patients receive the necessary medical attention and are subsequently discharged.”
