EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EoI) ON THE POLICY FOR PROCUREMENT OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT/LIST OF MANUFACTURERS AND EQUIPMENT FOR FEDERAL MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FEDERAL TERTIARY HOSPITALS
(1.0) INTRODUCTION
(1.1) Health and Medical Equipment are essential and indispensable components in the provision of modern Healthcare Services by facilitating good standard treatment of patients as well as creating enabling conditions that motivate Medical personnel to a higher competence. In 2015, the attention of the Federal Government was drawn to the unwholesome practices going on within the entire Health Sector with respect to the Procurement of Health and Medical Equipment. As a result, most Healthcare Institutions nationwide have Inventories of various types of dysfunctional and obsolete Health, Medical Equipment, and Plants procured from different sources and countries, often without regard to their standards, the desired needs, and safety considerations.
(1.2) In order to correct this perilous drift, there is a compelling need for the revision of the existing policy for procurement of Health and Medical Equipment. This revision is done every two (2) years to accommodate updated Products of Health and Medical Equipment.
(1.3) The Federal Government anticipates that the vigorous and consistent implementation of this Policy, through the concerted efforts of all practitioners, will stem the prevailing drawbacks, ensure value for money, substantially improve the quality of healthcare, enhance the standardization of Medical Equipment and discourage the dumping of obsolete and derelict Medical Equipment in the country amongst others.
