The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant gaps in healthcare infrastructure, especially in the availability and reliability of health systems, which are critical for the testing and treatment of severe illnesses. The Ministry of Health (MoH), in collaboration with the Global Fund through the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM), is working to strengthen the country’s integrated health system.

Liberia faces significant energy challenges, with less than 20% of the population having access to reliable public electricity. This hinders the consistent operation of medical devices and equipment. Solar energy offers a cost-effective, sustainable, and independent power source essential for maintaining uninterrupted diagnostic services.

As part of the Global Fund’s Grant Cycle 7 (GC7), Plan International Liberia, serving as the Principal Recipient, is supporting the solarization efforts of the Govt. of Liberia. To ensure continuous functionality, mitigate power-related disruptions, and reduce dependency on fossil fuels, Plan International Liberia is initiating the solarization of 2 PSA Oxygen Plants at Tellewoyan and Rally Time hospital and 14 GeneXpert Machines at 14 hospital sites across nine counties. This intervention aims to provide a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable energy solution
