We Care Solar Suitcase

The We Care Solar Suitcase is a complete, compact, and rugged solar electricity system for maternal health care. The Solar Suitcase equips energy-poor health facilities with highly efficient medical lighting and power for mobile communication and small medical devices. This robust, user-friendly innovation functions as a primary source of medical light and power for off-grid health centers and back-up lighting for delivery rooms and operating theaters with unstable power. The Solar Suitcase supports timely and efficient emergency obstetric care and has been used in a range of medical and humanitarian settings. Each device includes four high-efficiency, 70,000-hour LED lights for medical tasks and surgeries, two rechargeable headlamps, a fetal Doppler, and an infrared thermometer. The system includes a 12V, 20Ah lithium ferrous phosphate battery, a charge controller, two 12V DC accessory (lighter) sockets, two USB ports, and two expansion ports to allow for optional accessories or additional lights. A custom display and user interface make operation simple and intuitive. All equipment is packed within a water-and-dust tight yellow case that becomes a cabinet that mounts to the wall. Accompanying 100-200 watt solar panels are secured to the roof. The Solar Suitcase enhances the safety of childbirth in countries with high rates of maternal mortality and poor access to power. It has been used across more than 7,000 health facilities in 20+ countries. We are conducting national programs as part of our Light Every Birth initiative, reaching every qualified public health facility in Liberia, Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe.
