In 2013 the CSIR embarked on a research project to develop a design terms of reference and blueprint designs for modular conventional clinics and for the rapid deployment of clinics. In the final phase of the project it was intended to construct and commission a new design pilot clinic(s). The outcome of the project was to be high quality clinic facilities and standardised procurement practices. Studies undertaken by the Infrastructure Unit of the National Department of Health had identified a number of challenges to the delivery of healthcare infrastructure. Many of these challenges are addressed through the Infrastructure Unit Systems Support (IUSS) project with the National Department of Health. This chapter describes the investigation undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of using wind turbines to provide electricity to the clinics.enHealthcare facilitiesHealthcare infrastructureInfrastructure Unit Systems SupportIUSSWind turbinesAlternative energy resourcesBook ChapterSzewczuk, S.
