    Thing is, medical equipment suppliers should be held to higher standards than they are currently. If you’re providing medical equipment to be used in public healthcare: you should be responsible for maintaining and repairing it imo.

    There should be a minimum requirement for repair/maintenance/warranty provided by the manufacturer.

    Hospitals don’t invest in the ability to perform such repairs largely because of the liability involved, ontop of often being a poorly funded/staffed public service.

    The company license is no guarantee they aren’t minimum wage nobodies.

    No, but then the manufacturer is responsible for the quality of repair/maintenance performed by its staff.

    If something goes wrong with the equipment; it’s on the equipment manufacturer instead of the hospital using it.

    With a mandate on repair/maintenance; they’d be forced to provide quality service to survive.
