Excerpt
SPENCER MICHELS (Newshour): In crowded hospital emergency and delivery rooms, the pressure is on and so are the lights. In fact, electricity powers dozens of medical devices, keeping patients alive: heart monitors, refrigerators for bags of blood, ventilators.
But imagine if a doctor was delivering a baby or performing an operation and the lights suddenly went out.
WOMAN: Welcome to the world, little one. And the lights are. . .
DR. LAURA STACHEL, WE CARE Solar: We estimate that 300,000 health facilities do not have reliable electricity around the world. So this is a huge problem.
