Clinical Engineering Department<\/h2>\n

Clinical Engineers (CE) are medical device specialists who support the “safe, reliable, and uninterrupted” operation of essential treatment equipment. From daily inspections to critical care settings like dialysis and surgery, we work as part of the medical team to ensure the highest standards of healthcare safety.<\/p>\n

About Our Department<\/h3>\n

Established as an independent division in October 2021, our department manages everything from high-tech equipment maintenance to direct clinical assistance in the HCU, operating rooms, and catheterization labs.<\/p>\n

Equipment Management<\/h3>\n

We employ a centralized management system to oversee the entire lifecycle of medical devices, from procurement to disposal. Annual maintenance plans and daily ward rounds ensure every device is ready for patient use.<\/p>\n
