Abstract

In limited resources settings, Health Technology Management (HTM) presents specific challenges, which significantly differ from those faced in higher income settings. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), HTM requires holistic approaches based on reliable information on medical devices operationalized in local medical locations, which may differ significantly from the USA or European ones. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) tools offer unprecedented opportunities to optimize medical device organization and management in SSA. Nonetheless, CMMS for SSA should be designed to meet real local needs and facing local economic and organizational constraints.
