She added that His Excellency, Senator (Prof)  Ben Ayade goal is to ensure that mothers and newborns are born in skilled healthcare facilities that have adequate lighting and power to save lives.

Dr Edu also concluded  that over 150 Primary Healthcare Centers across the State have so far benefitted from We Care Solar, while about 120 health facilities have had theirs installed already as Cross River State take the lead on harnessing Africa's untapped solar energy potential for quality Healthcare.
