PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has announced plans to solarize 124 hospitals across the province, aiming to enhance healthcare services and reduce energy costs.

Health Advisor Johar Nigar revealed the initiative during a press conference on Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of sustainable energy in the healthcare sector.

Nigar stated that the project is part of a broader strategy to improve medical facilities in KP, which has faced significant challenges due to energy shortages.

“By utilizing solar energy, we can ensure that our hospitals operate efficiently and provide uninterrupted services to patients,” he said.

The initiative is expected to not only cut down on electricity expenses but also contribute to environmental sustainability.

This move is anticipated to have a profound impact on the healthcare system in KP, where many hospitals struggle with power outages that hinder medical operations.

The solarization of hospitals will not only improve patient care but also align with the government’s commitment to renewable energy and climate change mitigation.

Looking ahead, the provincial government plans to initiate the project within the next quarter, with detailed proposals already under review.

Stakeholders are optimistic that this initiative will pave the way for further investments in renewable energy across various sectors in the province.
