BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS
Improving last mile health delivery
Increasing climate hazards increase vulnerability to new diseases and increase unreliability of conventional power systems.
Energy is a critical resource in a healthcare facility, where a disruption in power supply can be life threatening
Higher transaction costs for the poor (high transport expenses of covering long distances, lost wages and burden of home-care) make even free healthcare services unaffordable
Smaller towns and rural geographies where majority of the economically backward segments live don't have regular access to quality healthcare services
Access to Decentralised Renewable Energy when combined with efficient medical technologies can be one of the most critical components to democratize the delivery of health services for underserved populations providing timely and quality health care services at the last mile.
