"If you don't have a power source there is no way of administering oxygen. The patient is in danger..." 🔌 We were so proud to officially launch our incredible solar surgery video at @WHO's #WHA77 today. 🎥 Power is a huge issue for healthcare facilities across the globe. Our pioneering solar surgery system is powering operating rooms, helping them to run 24/7 on clean, sustainable energy. ☀️ 🎥 Produced by @BBCStoryWorks & created for Kids Operating Room & @Smiletrain.
