As extreme heat events increase across East Africa, emergency departments face unprecedented challenges managing climate-induced NCD complications. This multi-country implementation study across 25 hospitals in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania develops evidence-based protocols for heat-related cardiovascular and diabetic emergencies. Our climate-adapted triage system reduced heat-related NCD mortality by 34% and improved resource allocation during temperature extremes above 35°C.
