A piece of equipment lying idle ultimately means long delays in a patient receiving care at a facility, at times it can mean a difference between life and death. In its many maternal and infant care programs, we observed that the malfunctioning equipment could make a big difference in the health outcomes of the region, and not just mortality rates.
Across most facilities, public and private, the problems are similar:
- Poor choice of equipment
- Poor procurement network
- Lack of technical personnel (at procurement, installment and maintenance levels)
- Lack of user training
- Lack of parts and consumables
- Lack of tools for testing
- Absence of proper planning at all levels of facilities
