Energy and health in low-income and middle-income countries
Description
Reliable and affordable clean energy is essential for modern living and powering economies. Access to clean energy has increased substantially in low-income and middle-income countries over the past three decades. However, millions still lack reliable and affordable access to electricity and clean cooking fuels. This new Series—an update to the Series published in The Lancet in 2007—outlines the burden of disease associated with energy production and consumption; the drivers of and barriers to clean energy adoption; and how reliable, affordable, sustainable, and equitable electricity access in health-care facilities is necessary for achieving universal health coverage.
