Arunachal Pradesh Boosts Healthcare Infrastructure through New MoUs

The Arunachal Pradesh government has signed agreements with Hans Foundation and SELCO Foundation to enhance healthcare. The MoUs aim to improve health centers and install solar panels, with significant investments supporting reliable energy, better services, and reduced emissions, benefiting approximately 12 lakh residents and 3,000 healthcare workers.

In a progressive move to elevate healthcare infrastructure, the Arunachal Pradesh government has entered into two new memorandums of understanding with private organizations, as confirmed by officials.

The agreements, signed between the state's health department, Hans Foundation, and SELCO Foundation, were overseen by Health Minister Biyuram Wahge on Monday. These collaborations aim to upgrade healthcare facilities and implement solar power solutions.

An investment supported by the IKEA Foundation will fund energy installations, projected to impact 12 lakh residents by providing reliable power for medical services and reducing carbon emissions by 17,000 tonnes of Co2e over 20 years, enhancing the working environment for 3,000 healthcare personnel in remote locations.
