Heat Stroke and Heat Exhaustion Treatment in Johor Bahru

Strok Haba dan Kelelahan Haba

Heat-related illnesses range from heat cramps and heat exhaustion to life-threatening heat stroke. In Malaysia where temperatures regularly exceed 33-35°C with high humidity, outdoor workers, athletes, the elderly, and young children are especially vulnerable. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats and cannot cool itself effectively. Heat stroke is a medical emergency where the core body temperature exceeds 40°C with neurological impairment — it can be fatal without immediate cooling and treatment.
