Tens of thousands of medical clinics in the lesser developed countries of the world do not have access to mains power. This lack of power is a serious obstacle to improving the health of villagers:• Refrigeration for vaccine storage is only possible using gas or kerosene.• Lighting for medical procedures, education etc. is only available using poor- quality and expensive torches, gas or kerosene lanterns.• The use of radio, TV, VCR for communication, education and recreation is greatly restricted.• Cooling fans are not available.• UV water sterilisation is not possible.

Conclusions:• There are great potential benefits from cooperation with other human service sectors such as education, agriculture, safe water supply, economic development, and communications. These links are in need of development.• Energy supply in the local community can generate income to support operating expenses.• Lack of maintenance is common and leads to system failure.• Users are often unaware of the proper operation, care, or limitations of systems. Metering is often not understood or is confusing to the user.• Training must be thorough and ongoing. • The energy system/application must be the least-cost, highest benefit option to meet the needs of public health care.• Systems should be designed and provided as completely and detailed as possible. • Adequate technical and user manuals must accompany systems and equipment.• Program planners need reliable and understandable information regarding energy choices.• Use of technology friendly to the environment (natural and social).• Development of environmental values among the engineers. • Satisfying social needs in groups of population who have been cut out from electricity.• Taking active role in the discussion for environment, climate change and social justice in Europe .
