Investment urgently needed to electrify hospitals in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa
The challenge
One billion people globally are served by healthcare facilities with no electricity access or with unreliable electricity. And an estimated USD 5 billion is needed to electrify health facilities in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, complemented by innovative technologies and business models.
The solution
The Powering Healthcare Hub serves as a platform for coordinated action for the wide-scale deployment of clean and reliable energy solutions in healthcare facilities with little to no access to electricity. Here you will find data, case studies, information on key stakeholders and latest developments in the sector. The Hub also monitors healthcare electrification progress through the Health Facility Electrification Energy Compact that was launched by SEforALL and other partners during the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy in 2021.
SEforALL's Powering Healthcare programme
Our Powering Healthcare programme equips governments and development partners with the evidence and solutions needed to achieve universal, sustainable electrification of health facilities by 2030. The programme aims to inspire stronger commitments and national projects, increase public and private investments and improve sustainability of interventions.
