Lahore Weather Brings Relief Amid WHO's New Initiative
The WHO's initiative and Pakistan's rainfall will have a significant impact on public health, with the reduction of AMR and the relief from the heatwave contributing to a healthier environment, and the Lahore weather is expected to become more pleasant with the expected rainfall.
Pakistan is set to receive widespread pre-monsoon rainfall from June 20 to 23, bringing relief from the severe heatwave gripping several regions, while the World Health Organization (WHO) launches a new initiative to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasted dust storms, rain-wind, and thundershowers in large parts of the country, with isolated areas expected to experience heavy rainfall and hailstorms. The wet spell is expected to subside the ongoing heatwave gradually, with rain and thunderstorms forecasted in upper and central Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, and Murree.
Meanwhile, the WHO's new initiative aims to reduce the misuse and overuse of antibiotics in human and animal health, as well as in agriculture. The initiative will focus on several key areas, including strengthening national policies and regulations, improving surveillance and monitoring of AMR, and enhancing education and awareness among healthcare professionals and the general public.
The expected wet spell in Pakistan will bring relief to the people, especially in Lahore, where the weather is expected to become pleasant. The PMD has warned of possible urban flooding in low-lying areas of major cities and advised farmers to plan agricultural activities accordingly. The public and tourists were urged to avoid unnecessary travel to vulnerable or flood-prone areas.
The launch of the new initiative by the WHO and the expected rainfall in Pakistan are significant developments that will have a positive impact on the health and well-being of people in the country. The reduction of AMR and the relief from the heatwave will contribute to a healthier and more pleasant environment, especially in Lahore, where the weather is expected to become more pleasant in the coming days.
