Avertismente asupra pericolului crescut al căldurii extreme pentru femeile însărcinate

Extreme heat poses significant risks during pregnancy, including premature births and congenital malformations, as highlighted by Simon Stiell at a pre-COP31 meeting. A recent study indicates rising temperatures correlate with increased complications for pregnant women. A survey showed that 73% of maternal health professionals reported more heat-related issues in the past five years. Stiell emphasized that pregnancy should be a hopeful time, but climate-related disasters are causing anxiety and straining health systems. He urged that climate change should not compromise the safety of pregnancies and childbirth.
