When health facilities have sufficient and reliable power, women can more safely give birth at night in well-lit delivery rooms, medical equipment can be better sterilized, and clinics can preserve lifesaving vaccines. However, in most of sub-Saharan #Africa, roughly one-third of health facilities have reliable access to electricity.
.
#Solar energy is changing this reality. This past fall, the United Nations Foundation began an innovative project to electrify health facilities with the power of the sun. With support from @dfid_uk, we are implementing off-grid solar power systems at 62 primary health care facilities in #Uganda and #Ghana.
