Hi,

I would like to request the following data (from 1979-2022):

1. Number of heatstroke cases in the Philippines per province 

2. Dates when these heatstroke cases were reported 

3. Reported Number of heatstroke-related deaths per province

The dates are important. I will study the relationship between heatstroke and heat index so I want to know when these cases occurred.
