Saving lives

“A mother came very early in the morning, about 5 am. She had already delivered at home but had continuous bleeding. There was a retained placenta. Before the Solar Suitcase, the light from the cellphone torch would not be enough to take care of this woman. If I was to wait until morning, she would die from too much bleeding.”

- Susan, Nursing Assistant, Tanzania

Changing lives

“Having the light changed the lives of the health workers, the lives of the patients, even the lives of the patient relations. It changed everything.”

- Maimuna, Midwife, Nigeria

One switch turns the system on. Another switch turns on the lights and other devices. It’s designed for use without the aid of an experienced solar technician.

Simple Operation

Greater Durability

The Solar Suitcase features high-quality components from today’s leading manufacturers, designed for longevity, even in the harshest environments.

Critical technology

“One day a pregnant mother came in with pre-eclampsia. I treated her with magnesium sulfate and used the fetal Doppler to check the heartbeat of the baby. Because I was sure that the fetus was in distress, I was able to refer her to Sengerema Regional Hospital and she and her baby survived.”

- Robert, Midwife, Tanzania

No fuses need to be replaced. No battery maintenance is required. A new battery should be replaced every 2 years (estimated).
