  • Health Technology Management in Zambia: a Mapping Exercise In
    Health Technology Management in Zambia A Mapping Exercise in Copperbelt Province April 2017 Shauna Mullally Shauna Mullally Health Technology Management in Zambia Page 2 of 121 Shauna Mullally Health Technology Management in Zambia Executive Summary This report was commissioned by THET as part of its work on improving biomedical engineering capacity within Zambia. It presents the key findings of an exercise undertaken to map and analyze the HTM polices and procedures within Copperbelt health facilities, the province’s Provincial Medical Office (PMO) and the MoH itself. The report aims to represent the key processes, institutions and practices related to HTM within the Zambian health system in order to establish a clear picture of medical equipment management from planning and budgeting activities at the Ministry of Health to maintenance and use of equipment in Zambian health facilities. The report does this in order to identify specific changes and activities required to improve HTM in the Zambian health system, and provide recommendations for ways forward in terms of HTM at central, provincial and facility level. The report includes background information, an overview of the mapping methodology, key findings and recommendations for quality improvements at the facility, provincial and central levels. Additionally, it includes baseline data from health facilities, where available, for future quality improvement initiatives. Supporting /supplementary documentation and reference material has been provided to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and THET. The fieldwork and interviews that form the basis of this report were conducted over a period of 7 weeks, between September 26th and November 11th 2016. A workshop with key health workers interfacing with medical equipment in Copperbelt province was held on November 10th, and a dissemination meeting was held with the Ministry of Health on 11th November 2016.
