Extreme weather puts Indian hospitals at high risk of shutdown: Study
Hindustan Times
|December 03, 2023
At least 5,120 hospitals in India, the highest in any country, would be at high risk of shutdowns due to extreme weather events if the world fails to phase out fossil fuels by end of the century, a study said on Saturday on the eve of the inaugural Health Day at the ongoing COP28 summit in Dubai.
Worldwide, one in 12 hospitals face a similar risk, the study "2023 XDI Global Hospital Infrastructure Physical Climate Risk Report" by physical climate risk analysis firm XDI (Cross Dependency Analysis) said.
The study analysed the impact of six climate hazards-coastal inundation, riverine flooding, surface water flooding, forest fire, extreme wind and cyclone wind-on over 200,000 hospitals around the world.
