Building a new hospital is always a challenge, especially in regions where medical equipment is highly dependent on imports. For Clinique Médicale Du Château D’eau, a specialist hospital located in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, the goal was clear: expand access to quality infertility treatment and provide hope for more couples. With a new 30-bed facility under construction, the hospital faced a critical question—how to equip the hospital with modern medical equipment without being overwhelmed by costs and delays.
How MeCanMed helped the hospital overcome these challenges. By leveraging our extensive supplier network in China, we reduced procurement costs by at least 30%, shortened communication time, and delivered an efficient solution that gave the hospital a strong foundation for future growth
The Client: Clinique Médicale Du Château D'eau
Clinique Médicale Du Château D’eau specializes in infertility treatment and plays a vital role in healthcare for couples in Brazzaville. To meet growing demand, the hospital owner made the decision to invest in a new 30-bed hospital. This expansion aimed not only to improve healthcare accessibility but also to reduce the pressure on families who often had to seek care abroad.
However, the challenge was clear: the hospital needed reliable equipment at sustainable costs.
The Challenges
1. High Equipment Prices in Congo
The Republic of Congo’s healthcare market heavily depends on imports from developed countries like the USA and Europe.Prices for medical equipment are significantly higher, straining the financial resources of private hospitals.
2. Extended Investment Payback Period
High procurement costs meant it would take much longer for the hospital to recover its investment. This posed a financial risk and slowed the hospital’s development plans.
3. Complex Procurement Process
Searching for trustworthy suppliers and comparing equipment prices required enormous time and effort. The owner needed a partner who could simplify procurement without sacrificing quality.
