The Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) has become one innovation richer with their new solar panels. A new solar plant has been installed at the Ifakara Health Institute, a long-standing partner of Swiss TPH, which contributes to the reduction of CO2 at this unique health research and education centre in Tanzania. Swiss and Tanzanian partners jointly financed the solar plant, which officially opened on 21 June 2021. The Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) is a renowned health research organisation in Tanzania. In close partnership with Swiss TPH, a unique teaching and research ecosystem has developed over decades, which includes laboratories, teaching and research facilities and a hospital for clinical trials. Since 21 June 2021, IHI has also been a pioneer in terms of sustainable energy supply. "The solar system is more cost-effective in the long run and guarantees an important independence from the state provider TANESCO energy," said Stefan Mörgeli, former Administrative Director and Project Manager of Swiss TPH's new building "Belo Horizonte".
