9. Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Program
For technology intensive programs like Laboratory, Radiology, SNCU, ICUs and Operation Theaters, it is necessary to have fully functional equipment
Initially dysfunctional rate of 30% to 63% for equipment inventory across various states and was a concern in letter from PMO to MoHFW
Under NHM, Comprehensive maintenance of all equipment across DHs, CHCs, and PHCs was proposed and an exclusive program was launched under PPP given that equipment maintenance is a specialized skill requiring immediate availability of biomedical engineers and spare parts
Under the program design, Service Provider is to provide toll free number for equipment fault registration, spare parts, engineering HR and provide an upkeep time of 95% for DHs, 90% for CHCs and 80% for PHCs
Service provider to be selected after due tendering process
Within four months of the start of the program, the service provider would be responsible for repairing all currently dysfunctional equipment which means inventory worth over Crore would be functional within four months of launch of the program in respective states
The cost incurred is 7% - 10% of asset values
