The Ministry of Health is finalising a policy on management of medical devices. The policy will provide direction and guidance on medical equipment management and assist in building capacity for counties and other health service providers to ensure success of quality healthcare. The CAS spoke during a stakeholders’ forum aimed at deliberating on the draft Medical Devices Management policy for Kenya. “UHC goal is anchored on provision of quality, effective and efficient health services whether prevention, treatment, diagnostic or rehabilitative services. Therefore, it is important that medical devices and equipment are rationally acquired, utilised properly, perform as expected and are safe to users, patients and the general public,” Aman said.
