Health Technology Management in Developing Countries -A model for attaining high level of quality services
This paper outlines reasons for the urgent need,critical factors to consider,strategic approaches and above all the experience and features of our thriving health technology management (HTM) program in the developing world.The concept and practice of HTMs is still largely unknown to many national health systems in Africa,health research institutions and NGOs in many parts of the continent and perhaps in other least developed nations around the world.By sharing our story and introducing the HTM concept to as many stakeholders as possible within the national healthcare systems,and especially to the healthcare executives,policy makers and regional/hospital managers/administrators,this will in a long way alleviate major sticking problems especially associated within the initial phase of the HTM cycle; Acquisition of healthcare technologies- including donations! The establishment of our biomedical engineering department and an HTM system has brought major solutions to our inadequate maintenance capabilities,prolonged downtimes of equipment and the high maintenance costs that existed through existing service contracts.
