Hospitals in Bangladesh lose crores of taka every year to premature equipment failure — most of it preventable. A structured preventive maintenance program is the highest-return investment a facility can make.
Build a tiered PM schedule
Classify devices by criticality:
- ✓Tier 1 (life support) — monthly inspection, quarterly full PM
- ✓Tier 2 (monitoring & diagnostic) — quarterly inspection, half-yearly PM
- ✓Tier 3 (support equipment) — half-yearly inspection, annual PM
When to outsource
If your facility has fewer than 150 devices, a maintenance contract is usually more economical than a full in-house team. ANHA's PM contracts include 24/7 emergency coverage for ICU and OT devices.
