Biomedical maintenance in sub-Saharan Africa

Biomedical maintenance in sub-Saharan Africa is a crucial issue in the healthcare sector, guaranteeing the proper functioning of medical equipment and, consequently, patient safety. The issues involved can be seen from a number of angles:The growing complexity of cutting-edge medical technologies, requiring advanced technical skills and training for maintenance personnel. Added to this are the economic challenges faced by health centers, where budgets are often tight, making regular investment in preventive maintenance difficult. This situation leads to an increase in the risk of breakdowns, resulting in service interruptions that compromise the quality of care. In addition, stringent regulations impose strict standards for the safety and traceability of medical devices, requiring rigorous documentation of interventions.
