We're having high temperatures, but we need to be careful not to get out when it's too hot, so what do we do? That is what 65-year-old Naim Krasniqi, a citizen who was seeking medical assistance at the main Centre of Family Medicine in Pristina, has said.

And it has increased the flow of patients from high temperatures these days, says Family Medicine Specialist Drita Peqani Gashi. She told Radio Kosovo that the cause is high temperatures that are ruling in our country. It appeals to care for the elderly, children, and those who suffer from various diseases in these hot days.

The “is a greater influx of patients, and mainly patients come with a deterioration of the current situation as a cause of high temperatures. Patients mostly have a drop in tension, then they come in a state of staggering, punctuation, perspiration, and so on. But that mainly health complaints have more patients with chronic illness”, she said.

Pedani Gashi appeals to citizens to be careful even with food in these hot days. It suggests consuming foods that are easy to digest as well as consuming enough water.

Meanwhile, Era Piraeus of the Kosovo National Institute of Public Health has said that the elderly, the heart disease, or those with diabetes not be exposed to the sun from 10 to 17 p.m.

Older people should never be exposed to the sun's rays at a time interval of 10,700.00, especially not the elderly with heart disease or diabetes.
