OUR URGENT NEED
Install 36 solar panels at Boko Health Neonatal Clinic in Cameroon, directly benefitting more than 9,000 patients, 38 staff and 45,000 family members. Project meets the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #7 – Affordable & Clean Energy.
Overall Goals :
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.
Project Deliverables:
The SJOGF sponsored hospital in Boka requires installation of 36 solar panels, each producing 260 watts of energy, totaling 9,360 watts. This will provide continuous and uninterrupted electricity for safe operations and treatments, ante and post-natal facilities and support for the labs, treatment procedures and medical operations.
Expected Benefits:
Installation of solar panels will improve healthcare services for all patients. A 30% reduction in mortality is expected as the Emergency and Triage departments will be able to continuously function.
