A05 A unique model of biomedical engineering – an HTM success story in Africa!

1. Overview • MRC (UK) The Gambia was established in

1947; it is UK’s single largest investment in health research in the developing world

• Our biomedical engineering (BME) program manages and maintains 1,500+ lab & clinical devices at multiple sites in the Gambia and Guinea-Bissau in-house

2. Establishing the BME program • Prior to 2005, no centralized health

technology management (HTM); most complex devices on non-compliant service contracts

• BME program established in 2005; first tasks were:

1) set up basic BME workshop 2) performed full device inventory 3) reviewed service contracts (cancelled

non-compliant ones, $150k repatriated) 4) established capital committee 5) negotiated for service training &

resources for BME staff who quickly demonstrated competence

4. The program today • Team fully service trained on 9 colour flow

cytometry; fixed and mobile x-ray; bone densitometry; fully automated diagnostic analysers; liquid nitrogen plants; safety cabinets & clean air systems

improved uptime, reduced cost, local technical knowledge!

• Establishing quality system working towards UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency guidance document ‘Managing Medical Devices DB2006 (05)’

• Supporting clinical diagnostic laboratories to achieve Good Clinical Lab Practice (GCLP) accreditation

• Starting to service devices for our West African collaborators & establish training/capacity building programs for their technologists

3. Critical factors for success * Win-win partnerships with manufacturers * Strong support from leadership * Pathways for success and ongoing

training & development to retain staff and their skills

* Creative funding sources for required resources (human, material, financial)

* Positive relationships with local technical training institutes
