Solarkiosk's solar powered solution for the fight against COVID-19
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that Africa would become the next epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. The virus is spreading away from the capital cities to the most vulnerable last mile communities.
Most developing nations remain ill-equipped to follow these processes. Some are even without the diagnostic capacity for rapid testing for the virus. The scarcity of resources, including personnel, equipment, such as COVID test, PCR equipment, test centers, and equipment for treatment (such as medical ventilators).
Solarkiosk has recently entered into a Public-Private Partnership with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, UNITAR, to support African Ministries of Health with relevant and efficient medical solutions to help them in their efforts to fight COVID-19.
This multi-sectoral, multi-partner collaboration has been designed to rapidly deploy and implement feasible solar powered solutions in rural areas.
Solarkiosk's solar powered 3 ring approach to fight COVID 19
As a part of this initiative, Solarkiosk has developed a solar powered three ring concept, with a range from screening in rural off-grid communities all the way to efficient medical treatment of patients, regardless of where the intervention is needed.

Many countries still lack of adequate cold storage infrastructure to properly store their COVID-19 vaccines at the required temperatures. According to AP news, vaccine (cold) storage issues could leave 3 billion people without access to the much-needed vaccinations. The POWERING HEALTH CARE initiative by Sustainable Energy for All claims that “in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, it is estimated that only 28% of health facilities have access to reliable electricity”.
Having this cold storage capacity available will be crucial in governments’ COVID-19 vaccine distribution efforts. For this reason, Solarkiosk Solutions GmbH has launched its latest product, the solar powered vaccination storage fridge.
