Two health centres in Kadavu and Beqa will soon receive 24 hours of solar supply.

This follows a Cabinet approval to a grant assistance of USD 50,000 from the International Solar Alliance for the solarisation of the health centres at Daviqele, Nabukelevu in Kadavu and Dakuibeqa in Beqa.

Prime Minster Sitiveni Rabuka says the two health centres were identified following consultations between the Department of Energy and the Ministry of Health.
