This letter addresses the hazards that public health of Pakistan faces from heatwaves and global warming. Pakistan's geographical and economic constraints make it particularly vulnerable to climate change effects. The most vulnerable demographics include outdoor laborers, women, kids, and the elderly. Heatwaves are made considerably more deadly when there is no access to electricity. The letter suggests recommendations such as early warning systems, medical professional training, tree planting, and teaching programs in schools.
