Access to electricity is important for delivering quality healthcare. This study explores innovative and comprehensive approaches to electrifying rural health facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa by integrating renewable energy solutions and innovative financial mechanisms. It assesses funding models, investment strategies, and policy frameworks to support energy access for healthcare delivery in underserved regions. This study shows that the electrification of rural health facilities can be achieved through a combination of renewable energy development and robust financial mechanisms. Investment by governments, the private sector, and development organizations is needed to increase the electrification of rural health facilities.
