Access to reliable electricity supply is absolutely critical for vital healthcare services to be provided to communities and business in general. The majority of healthcare facilities in the world, serving 75% of the world’s population, currently suffer from insufficient or intermittent energy supply. The absence of reliable electricity prevents healthcare providers from delivering the services needed to save lives.
Also, absence of reliable electricity affects the businesses income.
When Dr. Kolombo started working at Shyira Hospital it received power from a loud and expensive diesel generator for only 2 hours a night and only in the operating room, maternity ward, and laboratory. With the solar panels installed by Great Lakes Energy, the hospital can use electricity all night and throughout the wards and offices. Most importantly, they can avoid using costly diesel fuel, and in a poor village like Shyira, this makes a big difference.
