Primaya Hospital Karawang Leads Sustainability Efforts with Solar Power Installation

Commitment to Renewable Energy

Primaya Hospital Karawang, part of the Primaya Hospital Group managed by PT Famon Awal Bros Sedaya Tbk (PRAY), has taken a significant step towards sustainable healthcare by installing a 164.7 kWp rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system across a 1,123 m² area.
