In Nigeria, energy is one of the major challenges affecting the public health sector. Most health facilities run on unreliable power sources and this can interrupt health care delivery, disrupt the cold chain for vaccines, and interrupt life-saving equipment especially when public health is involved. When reliable power is unavailable, all other aspects of health systems strengthening become harder to achieve. Hence, there is a need for partners to collaborate towards improving energy challenges in the health sector.

To address these issues, eHealth Africa will be hosting a thought leadership virtual event themed "Renewable Energy in Africa - Impact on Public health + Sustainable development". During the event, we will engage top-level decision-makers and stakeholders across health and related sectors in Nigeria to discuss energy challenges that affect health facilities and possible solutions. The event will also focus on Renewable energy as a key solution and why health facilities should consider it as a viable alternative with the help of the state government or sponsors.
