A German medical source: The number of heat-related deaths in the country is lower than reported Germany’s medical director, Uwe Jansnes, has asserted that the Robert Koch Institute’s figures of nearly 12,500 heat-related deaths this summer are lower than the actual figures. Dr. Jansnes of the German Society for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine told the Funke Media Group newspapers: "There are certainly several thousand additional deaths," explaining that many cases are not recorded as being related to the heat, because death certificates may indicate, for example, organ failure. #Germany #HeatDeaths #Heatwave #HealthNews #MedicalNews #news
