Hospitals all over the world, largely rely on machines to aid them as they provide essential services to patients. These machines and hospital equipment constantly consume significant amounts of energy and need electricity to function. In developing countries such as Nigeria, power is a major problem, and this has contributed to the rot of our health sector.
Many hospitals and health centres in Nigeria that solely rely on the national electricity supply often encounter problems as the power supply is usually poor and constantly unreliable. Others that resort to using diesel-powered generators in case of power interruption have had unpleasant experiences, as generators are quite expensive to run and require regular maintenance. There have been recorded cases of hospitals losing patients as a result of power outage and also doctors carrying out surgeries with torchlights [1]. All of this can be avoided by embracing new and reliable energy sources to power our health facilities.
As the the demand for energy is constantly on the rise, so are the energy costs. Businesses nowadays are looking at alternative ways to solve their energy problems without having to incur as much costs as they used to, just to meet their daily energy needs. One of these naturally available energy solution is Solar Energy.
SOLAR FOR HEALTH
Nigeria has a large solar energy potential of which according to estimates, just only 27% of this is currently being used. Harnessing this reliable energy source for use in all levels across our healthcare system would enable it function effectively. Storage of medicines and essential medical substances would be made easy with Small PV solar installations. While, Large PV solar arrays can power a wide range of essential devices, including lights, water pumps, laboratory equipment and a host of vital medical devices.
Currently, solar is considered as one of the cheapest available forms of energy and is one source that can be used continuously without ever running out [2].
The use of solar power helps health facilities save money, as it is cheaper and more reliable compared to conventional energy sources. This cost effective energy source requires little maintenance and provides much greater return. More so, the use of solar panels is good for the environment, as it helps to reduce carbon emissions.
WHAT TO NOTE
The demand for energy is constantly on the rise and is not slowing down anytime soon. Energymall Nigeria specifically seeks to meet the needs of businesses which we know cannot function effectively without power. With our state of the art RE technologies, we offer energy efficient services to healthcare facilities, by equipping them with Solar power solutions, lighting, batteries and proper electrical wiring to ensure their energy demands are satisfied.
Our solar power solutions will enable health care providers continually serve the thousands of patients who visit their facilities yearly, without having to worry about the unstable national power. Patients would have more faith in the system and the overall quality of service would be improved.
With recent projects at Reddington hospital complex, Ikeja and a health care facility in Victoria Island, Lagos, we are constantly seeking to expand our reach and achieve our goal of being the go-to company for all things clean energy.
