Update: 6:03PM FIJI’S Ministry of Health is in the process of carrying out studies and analysis on the conversion of its steam boilers from fossil fuels to tri-generation at its three major hospitals in Suva, Lautoka and Labasa.
Assistant Health Minister Alexander O’Connor revealed this in Parliament last
week saying they were working with their industrial partners towards this
commitment in a bid to make a commitment to the 2030 Global Sustainable
Development Agenda.
Also included in this commitment is co-generation at most sub-divisional
hospitals.
“Consideration has also been given to the conversion of diesel-fueled
incinerators,” Mr O’Connor said.
“These strategies add value to fulfilling our commitment to climate change and
in making our health system more resilient.”
