Private hospital in Myanmar to use solar system
0 
Myanmar is projecting to build a massive system to provide solar energy to a hotel-transformed private hospital, the local Pyi Myanmar News reported Tuesday.
Transformed from the Royal Ruby Jade hotel, the private hospital will have about 340 solar cell panels to ensure 24-hour electricity supply.
The hospital will seek foreign doctors to treat the patients who will be provided with hotel-style service.
In 2010, the state-run Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise and the PTTEP International Ltd of Thailand, working in partnership in Myanmar's Mottama offshore oil field, donated to a village in Bago region equipment for solar power generation under the socio - economy enhancement program.
The donation is aimed at furnishing the village's basic education high school and station hospital with 24-hour electricity through sunlight.
Meanwhile, Myanmar will run all communication-related mobile stations with electrical equipment operated by solar system, according the State Posts and Telecommunication.
Some mobile stations have test-run with solar energy in September, 2010, which proved successful and the project is being extended countrywide.
Solar energy system was introduced in Myanmar in 2003.
