For one month now, Coko Health Center is operating without electricity, which, residents and local leaders say, is affecting the level of service delivery and therefore appealed to the concerned parties to intervene and restore power supply to the center. The blackout follows the blowing of the transformer that supplied the health center and has since not been replaced.
The director of Coko Health Center, Nzamurambaho Vincent said that lack of electricity is seriously affecting service delivery and requested leaders in charge to make advocacy for immediate reconnection.
“The situation is worse when treating patients during night. We use torches. We request Rwanda Energy Group to assist in addressing the matter since treating without equipment that need power to operate may cause problems,” he appealed.
Talking to IGIHE via phone, a REG official in Rulindo district, Ndahayo Chrysologue said that the case is being addressed. “We have placed an order of other transformers and will be fixed as soon as they arrive.”
