Noor Medical & Access Afya

Noor Medical’s Hybriclave enables health facilities with unstable electricity supplies to maintain safe medical equipment sterilization processes even in times of power shortages. The technology is a hybrid electric-thermal autoclave that can operate either with a PV-battery system, thermal energy inputs such as cooking gas, or conventional electricity. Access Afya, which operates in Kenya’s informal settlements, is piloting the Hybriclave in five  of their clinics to test to efficacy and usability of the solution, particularly its ability to successfully sterilize medical instruments during power outages.
