This paper addresses an important topic, energy poverty in healthcare facilities. We try to provide an interesting perspective on bringing together two SDGs. The SDG 7, which seeks to ensure access to affordable, sustainable, and modern energy for all, is interlinked with Goal 3 on Health. The literature studies as well as data on the subject are sparse. Nevertheless, a systematic documentation of the levels and variation in access to energy at the health-facility level is important for designing effective policies to improve the quality of healthcare and the ultimate health of the population. Using the 2012-2013 Senegal Service Provision Assessment (SCSPA), we assessed energy access in health facilities and health systems' performance. Data were also geocoded using ArcGIS 10.3 to give a snapshot of the situation.
这篇论文探讨了一个重要的话题，即医疗机构中的能源贫困问题。我们试图提供一个有趣的视角，将两个可持续发展目标结合起来。可持续发展目标 7 旨在确保所有人都能获得负担得起、可持续和现代化的能源，这与目标 3 关于健康的目标是相互关联的。关于这个主题的文献研究和数据都很匮乏。然而，系统地记录卫生设施层面获取能源的水平和差异，对于制定有效政策以提高医疗保健质量和最终人口健康水平非常重要。我们利用 2012-2013 年塞内加尔服务提供情况评估（SCSPA），评估了卫生设施获取能源的情况以及卫生系统的绩效。还使用 ArcGIS 10.3 对数据进行地理编码，以了解情况的概况。
