The Ministry of Health and Child Care recently set up solar power stations at all council run clinics in Masvingo Urban to try and provide uninterrupted power supply.
The project has been funded under the New Funding Model HIV/TB Grant and has seen Rujeko Clinic getting about forty solar panels.
Masvingo City Council Health Director Zvapano Munganasa expressed gratitude over the development saying the ministry of health has done a splendid job since the city has few resources.
“As a city, these projects are a blessing to us and our people because our resources are limited. Electricity is key in any health institution and the provision of solar means we now have uninterrupted power even in times of power outages,” said Munganasa.
The project is aimed at providing backup power supply for lighting and cold storage of vaccines at the clinics.local
