The role of quality medical equipment in treatment effectiveness
The head of the Food and Drug Organization said synergy among regulatory, medical, academic and manufacturing sectors is essential to ensure timely supply of quality, accessible medical equipment to healthcare centers.
The head of the Food and Drug Organization considered the synergy between the regulatory, medical, academic and production departments to be necessary for the timely provision of quality and accessible equipment for medical centers.
Referring to the specialized position of medical equipment engineers in the health system, according to Ambassador Arjan's report, Mehdi Pirsalehi said: providing effective diagnostic and treatment services, in addition to the knowledge and skills of doctors, depends on equipment and technologies that enable accurate and safe implementation of medical procedures.
He added: The choice of diagnosis or treatment method is based on the condition and needs of the patient, but the implementation of an important part of these measures depends on the correct functioning of medical equipment. Therefore, the knowledge and expertise of engineers and experts in this field, along with doctors and other members of the treatment team, play a decisive role in the quality of services and improving the safety of patients.
The head of the Food and Drug Organization emphasized that medical equipment plays a central role in various stages of providing health services and stated: from diagnostic tools and patient monitoring systems to advanced medical devices, the performance and quality of equipment can directly affect the accuracy of diagnosis, the effectiveness of treatment, and the quality of patient care. Paying attention to this area is an integral part of planning to improve the health system.
Appreciating the medical equipment managers of universities of medical sciences and other specialists and activists in this field, Pirsalehi emphasized the need to strengthen the interaction between different parts of the health system and said: "Stable supply of medical equipment requires close cooperation of regulatory institutions, medical centers, universities, and manufacturing and supplier companies so that the needs of medical centers can be more accurately identified and planned to meet them."
He pointed out that access to quality medical equipment, at an acceptable price and at the right time, is one of the requirements for providing optimal services to the people. The realization of this goal, in addition to the effective management of supply processes, depends on the coordination between the responsible departments and the accurate recognition of the real needs of medical centers.
At the end, Pirsalehi expressed hope for the successful transition of the health system from the current difficult situation and stated: the continuation of collective efforts, strengthening empathy and increasing resilience in various health sectors can help to reduce the obstacles in the provision of medical equipment and the continuity of providing medical services. In this way, the synergy of expertise and responsibility of all departments will be an important support to respond to the needs of patients.
