Sustainable procurement of medical technologies in LMIC

A procurement project of MDs represents the injection of funds into a developing country's health services, with the aim of improving the health of the population and contributing to the sustainable economic development of the country. The implementation of an investment project in the health sector is part of a virtuous circle: direct investments or loans coming from present or future taxes are transformed into infrastructure and technologies that improve the health of the population, the healthier a population is the better the economy. However, healthcare financial resources being limited, the high-quality (sustainable) or low-quality (unsustainable) of a MD procurement project is thus a critical factor that will impact the health services performance and thus, the population’s health. This means that the work of the technical leads in MDs procurement projects has a potential impact on the lives of millions of people.
