Six solar-powered health facilities continue to improve reliable healthcare delivery across rural Karnataka
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Beyond2020, the flagship initiative launched by the Zayed Sustainability Prize, the UAE’s pioneering award for innovative solutions to global challenges, today announced the deployment of solar-powered health centres across India that improve access to reliable healthcare services for more than 200,000 people.
Completed in Karnataka, southwestern India, the deployment includes six solar-powered health facilities equipped with energy-efficient medical technologies. The facilities have strengthened healthcare resilience in remote communities with limited access to electricity, enabling patients to receive essential healthcare services closer to home, without the need to travel long distances to larger cities.
The Beyond2020 deployment in India was carried out by SELCO Foundation, the 2018 Zayed Sustainability Prize winner and an India-based nonprofit organisation that uses sustainable energy as a catalyst to support poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability.
