Show Notes

We had a conversation with Rahul Srinivasan, a Senior Energy Specialist at Sustainable Energy for All (SEforAll), to explore the nexus between energy and healthcare in Africa.   

SEforAll is a United Nations partner organization that strives to accelerate access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy in developing countries, particularly in Africa and Asia. 

The key themes we explore on this episode include:

  • The interdependencies between energy and healthcare in sub-saharan Africa.
  • Around 15% of health facilities in sub-saharan Africa have no access to power. Why is this the case? 
  • The 5-pillar approach to tackling this problem. 
  • How you can be part of the solution.
