Abstract

This paper explores the existing condition of the energy supply through power grids, photovoltaic (PV) system commonly known as Solar Powered system, generators etc. to 81 healthcare facilities in Sindh that were identified during rapid assessment. As the Country is facing load shedding challenges, these healthcare facilities, apart from few, are not immune from it. This makes alternate sources of energy one of the most needed elements for a healthcare facility. In response to the findings, the paper underlines the importance of efficient utilization of existing PV system setup which is available in almost all healthcare facilities however underutilized due to various factors. This study helped in finding true potential of the PV system utilization. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of environmental aspect from energy perspective in healthcare facility and present the effective utilization of already installed solar energy to make it viable solution in healthcare infrastructure which align with the principles of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
