SOLAR-POWERED HOSPITALS AIM TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN SYRIA
The Syria Solar Initiative by the medical charity UOSSM (Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations) aims to eventually provide reliable electricity to all medical facilities in the country.
The hospital, which was not named by the charity in order to protect the staff and the facility from attacks, was fitted with 480 solar photovoltaic panels and 288 batteries capable of fully powering the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), operating rooms and emergency departments during diesel shortages.
