In the Democratic Republic of Congo, many healthcare facilities, particularly in rural areas, are faced with disastrous access to a reliable and sustainable source of energy. This tragic reality jeopardizes not only emergency care, but also the operation of vital medical equipment and the well-being of patients. Bulenga Hospital, located in South Kivu, was on the front line of this crisis, relying on fuel-intensive generators and an unstable power grid, resulting in frequent interruptions to its crucial services. It was therefore essential to act quickly to put in place a reliable, clean and sustainable energy solution. Thanks to this initiative, Bulenga Hospital is now able to provide uninterrupted, high-quality healthcare, guaranteeing patient safety and comfort. This breakthrough represents a real turning point for the community, offering hope for a future where every life counts and every patient receives the care they deserve.
