In rural Kenya, a solar-powered ambulance is being designed to help bring emergency care to people who live far from medical facilities. Its panels and stored energy can support the vehicle and its equipment even after the sun goes down, making the journey itself part of the care system.
The idea is practical in the best way. When fuel is expensive or difficult to reach, a vehicle that can keep moving with help from the sun may give health workers a more dependable way to meet patients where they are.
