요약This dissertation investigates the interdependence between decentralized energy systems and health infrastructure in under-resourced and humanitarian contexts, centering electricity as a critical determinant of public health capacity. Through interconnected case studies across sites in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), it develops field evaluation frameworks for assessing productive uses of electricity (PUE), power quality and reliability (PQR) in health facilities, and medical oxygen systems around empirically grounded energy realities. First, I present a detailed techno-economic analysis of "OffGridBox", a modular, redeployable solar-powered system co-located at off-grid communities and clinics in Rwanda in the COVID-19 context. Second, drawing on two years of continuous monitoring at 25 health facilities in North Kivu, DRC, I quantify electricity reliability and quality using high-frequency sensor data, highlighting both the inadequacy of binary access metrics and the need for circuit-level monitoring. Third, I examine the cascading effects of energy insecurity on oxygen access, combining mortality records, surveys, and sensor-based monitoring of bedside oxygen concentrators. Taken together, this work centers electricity quality and reliability-not just availability-as enabling conditions for medical service delivery. It generates evidence for the integrated design of distributed energy and medical systems-specifically, arguing for a shift away from donation-based, OECD-standard stationary oxygen concentrators and towards LMIC-adapted systems at the ward- and whole-of-facility scale. By grounding energy and health systems research in locally produced data, the chapters aim to contour synergistic strategies for tracking and advancing Sustainable Development Goal 7 (universal energy access) in tandem with Goal 3 (health for all) appropriate for the geographies most in need of critical attention and care.
