Healthcare interruptions due to electric power shortages causes critical medical services to be suspended and rescheduled during available periods of electricity. This situation puts valuable patient lives at risk. Investment in alternate means of continuous electricity is needed for hospitals to provide patientcare throughout each day.
Solar panels offer pollution-free electricity. The location of the SJOGF hospital in Boka, Cameroon, ensures consistent daily sunshine, making solar energy a viable and renewable resource. Solar panels contribute to on-going cost savings for electricity. Installing and maintaining much needed solar panels supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (#7) – Affordable & Clean Energy Goal.
