In the fast – paced world of healthcare, new hospitals face unique challenges when equipping their facilities — especially when it comes to critical areas like operating rooms. As a one-stop medical equipment supplier with over a decade of experience, MeCanMed specialize in simplifying complex procurement processes for healthcare institutions worldwide. Today, we share the success story of a hospital that overcame procurement hurdles with our one-stop operating room solutions and achieved remarkable results.
Client’s Profile
Our client is a newly built hospital located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a newly established facility, it faced three key issues:
- Tight opening timeline: It needed to open its doors as early as possible to meet the urgent healthcare needs of the area.
- Strained budgets: The hospital had limited funds across the board: the initial procurement budget and the long-term maintenance budget.
- Pressure for a short return cycle: As a new entrant in the local healthcare market, the hospital relied on launching core services (like surgery) quickly to start generating revenue and recoup initial investments.
Client’s Challenges in Procurement
1. Complex Procurement Process
Coordinating with numerous suppliers was a headache, consuming a great deal of time and energy. Each supplier had its own product features, delivery schedules, and after-sales service policies.
2. High Cost Concerns
Sourcing from individual suppliers meant missing out on bulk discounts. Additionally, unexpected costs, such as separate shipping fees from each supplier, ate into the already tight budget.
3. Quality Worries
For a new hospital, quality is a make-or-break factor for building trust with the community and avoiding costly downtime. The poor quality of the equipment will deeply affect the hospital’s reputation and revenue.
Value Brought by the Solution
1. Smooth Operation Start
Our one – stop solution has reduced the original expected procurement time by at least 20%. This allowed the hospital to complete operating room setup ahead of schedule, enabling it to open its surgical services on time.
2. Significant Cost Savings
Owing to the bundled procurement, the overall value of the order is about $30,000, 22% lower than the hospital’s budget.
Client’s Evaluation
“Working with MeCanMed is a tremendous opportunity for our newly-established hospital. You took the stress out of procurement, delivered high-quality equipment on time, and saved us a significant amount of money. ”
