Sekande-Nigeriare Health Center, located in the remote district of Bénoué in Cameroon, provides medical care for over 3024 people. Innovation: Africa identified Sekande-Nigeriare Health Center, treating over 4 patients both day and night. The health center delivers an average of 8 babies a month, 3 taking place in total darkness at night. The situation is extremely dangerous for patients, especially pregnant women and their newborn babies, as medical treatment without light leads to serious complications and life-threatening risks. In Oct 16, 2023, thanks to the generous support of Kirsh Foundation, Innovation: Africa installed a solar system at Sekande-Nigeriare Health Center. The entire clinic and staff homes who live on-site now have access to solar power which has dramatically improved the medical staff’s ability to safely treat patients. Today, the lives of 3024 people – medical professionals and community members – have been changed forever with access to solar energy and light. The medical staff now work in the evening with security and confidence that patients are receiving quality, life-saving medical treatment.
