Wibowo explained that the concept of 'Green Floating Clinic' was inspired by floating clinic in West Kutai, East Kalimantan. The clinic was a vital facility there, but it used fossil fuels which is still difficult to get. The team offered its idea to  use solar cell to meet the electricity needs at the clinic.
