Number of persons seeking help from mobile medical care units goes up
About 6,000 persons used the services of the mobile medical care units working in Chisinau last week, the Health Division's head Mihai Moldovanu said in Monday's ordinary meeting of the Chisinau City Hall, quoted by Info-Prim Neo.
According to Moldovanu, the number of patients has almost doubled compared with a week before, when 3,625 persons needed medical care. However, there were no cases of sunstroke. The 16 mobile medical care units working in Chisinau provide the necessary medications and drinking water.
Mihai Moldovanu recommended avoiding staying in the sun between 11am and 4pm on the hot days, wearing loose clothes of bright colors and drinking at least two liters of water a day.
