Surplus Health Service Equipment
Says Howard
“It is common knowledge that there are serious
financial problems in health service provision world
wide. Through my activities over a long period within
the health care sector I am aware that there is a vast
aggregate stock of surplus equipment amounting to many
millions of pounds. I see two major implications of
this.
Firstly, the resources tied up in unused equipment
would be far better employed elsewhere in the health
service. This is not just the original cost of the equipment
but also all of the costs still being incurred in storing,
securing, insuring and accounting for it.
Secondly, health services could be improved considerably
both in the UK and especially overseas if unused equipment
could be accessed and put to use.”
Liquidation of Surplus Hospital Equipment
Hospitalmart has been established to facilitate the
liquidation of surplus equipment and to extend its useful
life to improve service provision worldwide.
Recondition / Recycling Hospital Equipment
By reconditioning or recycling your surplus hospital equipment you
will generate additional income. Organisations in developing countries
have the funds and are prepared to pay for your unwanted, surplus
medical equipment. Extending the life of hospital equipment, like
any other form of reconditioning or recycling, makes a contribution
to the worldwide environmental initiative –
in addition to improving health and saving lives in the recipient
country.
And finally…… This extract from the Sunday Times,
March 23, 2008.
Hospitalmart exists to help resolve problems such as this.
Developing countries clearly cannot afford £30,000 medical drills,
but could afford pre-owned, ex-NHS equipment which is now surplus
to requirements.
