To provide round-the-clock healthcare at all hospitals in Kashmir, the Indian government recently began installing solar power plants in hospitals that lack an uninterrupted power supply, according to an article on the Khabar South Asia website.
Solar panels installed at the Public Health Center in Tulmulla, India, have helped people access medical services by enabling doctors to run operations at all hours.
"Now we can get medical tests like ultra sonography (USG) and x-rays done at the hospital at any time," science graduate, Riyaz Ahmad Mir, said in the article.
Since the remote village hospital receives only eight to ten hours of electricity a day, the solar energy improves doctors' ability to serve the area's medical needs.
