2. PROBLEM Statement
• In 2013, 28 % of health facilities and 34 % of
hospitals had what could be called reliable access
to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa.
• There are more than 44 District hospitals with a
high Cesareans Section done and all the patient
are on the risks to face complications associated
with power cut

11. High elastic head
band
Thermosetting
plastic material
The head band is made of a high elastic
material
The deal is to maximize the elasticity
and the stiffness.
Stiffness: stress/strain
stress: the force per unit area
strain: change in length (per
actual length
The torch housing should be made in a
to prevent skin damage and to minimize
the load (should be light)
