Thanks for all your ideas and for prompt replies, Geoff.
As of this writing, we do have 8 Omani biomeds and 5 expats, inclusive of yours truly. Of course the HoD of Biomedical is an Omani and a product of the UK in Biomedical Engineering.

As for the "bottom line" of the Quality Management exercise, if we can 100% assure the medical staff of the working condition and safety of ALL medical equipment in the hospital,complete with documentary evidence then we are confident on our department's side about the accreditation.
And as of this writing---YES WE CAN!
