China Donates Solar Power Systems to Hospitals in Energy-Strapped Cuba

China has donated thousands of solar power systems to Cuba, many of which have already been installed in hospitals and polyclinics across Havana. Emergency rooms, intensive care units, and vaccine storage facilities in the capital are now operating reliably again, according to doctors.

Cuba's energy crisis had been forcing hospitals to delay surgeries and struggle to keep critical services running.

The solar installations have restored power to key medical areas that had been affected by repeated outages. Tens of thousands of patients remain on waiting lists for surgeries. Power shortages continue to strain the broader healthcare system outside the facilities that received the new panels.

As Cuba's energy grid struggles, China is becoming an increasingly important lifeline, @MarioNawfal reported.
