Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a standard Medical Imaging Equipment Management System (MIEMS) for public hospitals of Bangladesh. Medical imaging equipment management has become an important component of health services delivery in Bangladesh. But presently a proper equipment management set-up does not exist in public hospitals and the overall diagnostic equipment condition in various departments is very poor. To find out the facts and reasons we visited fifteen medical imaging equipment departments in public hospitals of Bangladesh. From the data and results, a big percentage of the required management steps were found to be lacking. Based on the findings of the studies and with a view to improving the existing MIEMS we have proposed the improvement of medical imaging equipment management system for public hospitals in Bangladesh. During Study, we found the lack of Medical Imagining Equipment Management System in the Health Services of Bangladesh. The major findings are insufficient Biomedical Engineering team, negligible in-house and central MIEMS, weak bridge between users and biomedical engineering team.
