Clean Energy for Health Care Conference

Bringing together global, national and local partners from the energy and health sectors, the Clean Energy for Healthcare Conference aimed to raise awareness among policy makers to the importance of and the opportunity that renewable energy and energy efficiency play in creating stronger, more resilient health systems in Africa, and why additional attention to and resources for this issue are urgently needed.

Exchanging knowledge and practical experiences in delivering energy services to health facilities in resource-constrained environments, the conference emphasised how to improve upon the “business-as-usual” approach to powering health facilities, through innovations and best practices in fields such as decentralized renewable energy, energy efficient medical devices, and financing/delivery models.
