„Leading health care facilities in times of armed conflict: what are the constraints for medical equipment management?“ – Doctoral dissertation on medical technology procurement under extreme conditions.
On behalf of VKMB we provide consulting support for Medical Technology Design and, together with the client's team, ensure the quality of the planning documents produced. An independent second opinion on completeness, technical plausibility and suitability for daily operation – so that decisions rest on solid ground and corrections are made where they still cost nothing: during design.
