By the time he arrives, the backup generator has drained its fuel. This isn't fiction. This is typical morning for rural healthcare infrastructure across parts of Kenya. The real tragedy? The inverter wasn't catastrophically broken. It just had a thermal shutdownβ€”the cooling fan was clogged. A small fix that should have taken 10 minutes. But without instant diagnostics, it became a 2-hour emergency response and lost patient trust. This is the problem OpenClaw solves.
