UK experts launch campaign to revolutionise surgical care in India, Global South

Health experts in the UK have launched a worldwide campaign to raise USD 100 million to equip 100 hospitals across India and the Global South with secure, clean energy to help them maintain vital health services.  

The 100-4-100 Project was launched on Monday by the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery at the University of Birmingham during a conference.

The project aims to install solar power at 100 hospitals in remote areas in Benin, Ghana, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Africa.
