Dear sir,
I agree with you on the utilisation of medical equipments rather than wasting. But when you are selling/donating or buying/receiving donation, make sure some one (Trained Biomed )available at your centre, who can take care of these units and the availability of spare parts. Local distributors/manufacturers are normally hesitant to support these equipments since you haven’t purchased from them. Some times they may force you for higher AMC and sell parts for exorbitant cost, which means they will take the money, which you have saved on procurement.
