HIER Project: Conducting a Hospital Equipment Inventory Assessing Damage and Developing Strategies to Possibly Repair or Upgrade: A Case Series
Research and anecdotes show that 40-70% of hospital medical devices from lower income and lower-middle income countries are broken, unused, or unfit for purpose, leading to severe disruptions and lack of access to essential healthcare services. The project, Conducting a Hospital equipment inventory assessing damage and developing strategies to possibly repair or upgrade: a case series (HIER project) involves evaluating medical devices required by the Department of Health and PhilHealth in order to deliver essential healthcare services in hospitals and various healthcare facilities.
