In August 2003, France sustained an unprecedented heat wave that resulted in 14,800 excess deaths. The consequences were maximal in the Paris area. The Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris reported more than 2600 excess emergency department visits, 1900 excess hospital admissions, and 475 excess deaths despite a rapid organization. Indeed, simple preventice measures before hospital admissions are only able to reduce mortality which mostly occurred at home and in nursing homes.
2003年8月，法国遭遇了一场史无前例的热浪，导致14800人超额死亡。后果在巴黎地区最为严重。尽管迅速采取了组织措施，但巴黎公立医院集团报告称，急诊科超额就诊人数超过2600人，超额住院人数1900人，超额死亡人数475人。事实上，入院前的简单预防措施只能降低主要发生在家中和养老院的死亡率。
