Learning from the Kenyan experiment: key takeaways for implementing managed equipment services in developing countries

We have described our experience of planning, procurement, and implementation processes and the lessons learned from a large and comprehensive MES project in Kenya. The MES process is intricate and time-consuming, requiring a team of skilled professionals. Prior to beginning the MES design, a well-planned hospital assessment can alleviate potential obstacles. Despite financial limitations, MES arrangement has the potential to enhance significantly healthcare services, particularly in low- and middle-income nations.

Abstract

We have described our experience of planning, procurement, and implementation processes and the lessons learned from a large and comprehensive MES project in Kenya. The MES process is intricate and time-consuming, requiring a team of skilled professionals. Prior to beginning the MES design, a well-planned hospital assessment can alleviate potential obstacles. Despite financial limitations, MES arrangement has the potential to enhance significantly healthcare services, particularly in low- and middle-income nations.
