ELECTRICITY
Atutur Hospital had only intermittent electricity because Africa, and Uganda in particular, has a minimal supply of electricity. When there is an electricity blackout, nurses had to use torches or flashlights for deliveries, and surgeries could not be performed.
Thanks to our fundraising efforts, donations from UCI Blum Center and installation by the Ugandan solar panel business, Atutur Hospital now has one-third of the necessary solar panels.
