In addition, hospitals are expensive to build and costly tomaintain and sustain. In many developing countries the cost of modern healthcare services isprohibitively expensive and typically beyond the financial means of those who could directlybenefit from such services. Furthermore, the diagnostics and instruments used in hospitalsrequire a significant amount of electrical power along with the
