This #WorldHealthWorkerWeek, we’re highlighting the lives of health workers in Uganda whose lives have been changed by sustainable energy. An estimated 3 in 4 sub-Saharan health facilities lack reliable power, and 1 in 4 lacks access to electricity altogether. Electricity powers lights in the operating room & maternity ward, maintains cold chain for vaccines, and operates life-saving medical devices. Electricity also empowers health workers to perform to their full potential to serve their communities and keep patients healthy and safe. “The numbers of mothers giving birth has more than tripled from the time the lights were installed…” says Agnes Kezabu, a midwife in Uganda.
