What are the problems? • Overestimation of the cost of service work at the "officials"; • Underpricing by unscrupulous suppliers who do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to service medical devices; • Deficit of financial resources between the actual need and the planned expenditures of budgetary funds for the maintenance of medical devices; • Lack of MI engineers in healthcare organizations; Lack of medical equipment on the basis of a medical organization on an ongoing basis.
