The Ahantaman Girls Senior High School in Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western region has developed the ‘Royal Vaccine Cooler’, a solar-powered device designed to preserve vaccines in rural communities with limited access to electricity.
The innovation aims to address vaccine storage challenges in underserved areas, ensuring that immunisation programmes are not disrupted due to inadequate cold-chain facilities.
By harnessing renewable energy, the device offers an environmentally friendly, reliable, and cost-effective solution for sustaining vital healthcare services.
The project was presented at the Energy Commission’s Senior High Schools Renewable Energy Challenge, an initiative that encourages young innovators to develop practical technologies for national development.
This year's edition is the 6th, with a total of 15 second circle schools across the country participating.
