Project Description
The Moyo district government first identifies the three most suitable health centres for electrification in a transparent selection process. Each health centre serves about 15,000 people. Once the appropriate technical equipment has been installed, some of the health centre staff are trained in its use and maintenance. Electricity is crucial for ensuring quality health care and enables the uninterrupted delivery of the three main health services that are provided by health centre level IIs (a higher level stands for a larger and better equipped health centre as well as more funds from the government), namely treatment of outpatients, vaccination and emergency deliveries during night-time. The solar PV system is used for refrigeration of medicine, lighting and supplying power to other medical appliances at the health centres. This directly leads to improved working conditions for the health workers and better service delivery for the beneficiaries.
