Dubai: Aster DM Healthcare has signed an agreement with Emirates Electrical Engineering, a member of Al Rostamani Group, to install solar energy panels across four hospitals in the UAE.

Aster hospitals in Mankhool, Qusais, Cedar, and Medcare Hospital in Al Safa Dubai, will feature the panels. To be implemented by Eurohealth Systems, the total solar power generation will help reduce carbon dioxide generation by 1,774 metric tonnes annually, Aster said.

We are proud to associate with Aster DM Healthcare to pave a green way towards a sustainable future by harnessing the solar energy.”
