Inside India's first dedicated heatstroke emergency room

A hospital in India has opened its first dedicated heatstroke emergency room, as parts of the country experience a prolonged heatwave.

In Delhi, daily temperatures have repeatedly been crossing 40C (104F) since May, peaking at nearly 50C.

Since the clinic opened in late May, seven people have died of heatstroke, and more than 40 have been treated for heat-related ailments.
