At any point of time,

  • Around the world, more than 50% of medical equipment in developing countries are in a state that cannot be used
  • Tie-up with Maintenance agencies or Product Service teams is not feasible on a daily-basis
  • No skilled technicians are available to train the maintenance personnel and users
