The study examined rural health care service in Anambra west with a focus on alternative energy source for its electrification. The study adopts literature search and a survey design; questionnaires were administered to three health centers, 13 care givers and 269 clients receiving care in the facilities. The data were presented in tables and analyzed with multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that the health care services in Anambra West are operating at a dismal level, which was as a result of inadequate electricity for running the health center, skilled human resources/personnel, lack of information and health services. These factors most especially inadequate electricity correlated to a high level of client dissatisfaction with care received (99.3%). A significant association on health centers was observed between client satisfaction and marital status, educational level and occupational group (P<0.05) but no association on health center was observed with electricity supply (P>0.05). Also most of the hospitals visited lack basic modern health facilities. The implication of this is that it has led to the abysmal poor quality of health care services in the various health centers in the community. The importance of electricity for quality care cannot be overemphasized as it will not only ensure healthy living but will also contribute in combating mortality rate which is high in this part of the country. Consideration was made on the most economical power usage which solar photovoltaic emerged as the cheapest, noiseless, readily available and conducive energy source for health centers in rural areas. And Anambra West is located in a remote region optimal access to the sun’s rays hence making solar power one of the widely known renewable energy source.
