At MeCanMed, we understand that every healthcare institution operates within its own context — and we’re here to support that growth with a comprehensive, one-stop operating room solution that simplifies planning, purchasing, and post-installation management.
1. Infrastructure & Equipment Shortages
Many healthcare facilities in Africa lack basic surgical equipment like operating tables, anesthesia machines, and monitors, particularly in rural and district facilities. This equipment gap severely limits the ability to perform even routine surgical procedures, reduces hospital capacity, and forces facilities to refer patients elsewhere.
2. Human Resource Gaps
Africa faces critical shortages of trained surgical specialists, anesthetists, and support staff. This limits healthcare facilities’ capacity to perform surgeries and maintain equipment, even when available.
3. Ongoing Procurement Challenges
1) Scattered purchasing channels increase costs and delays
2) Equipment incompatibility with local infrastructure
3) Poor after-sales service reduces equipment lifespan
Instead of fragmented procurement, MeCan offers a fully coordinated solution model that simplifies every stage — from communication to delivery and post-installation support.
This model saves time, reduces cost, and ensures full equipment compatibility — allowing hospitals to achieve faster commissioning and smoother operations.
| Traditional Procurement | MeCanMed One-Stop Solution |
|---|---|
| Multiple suppliers, inconsistent standards | Unified supplier network with guaranteed compatibility |
| High logistics cost and delays | Integrated logistics planning and real-time tracking |
| Limited after-sales support | End-to-end technical service and training |
| No project customization | Tailored operating room layout and design support |
Establishing a fully functional operating room requires more than just purchasing equipment — it demands coordination, technical expertise, and deep understanding of clinical workflows.
That’s where MeCanMed brings real value.
We follow a structured delivery framework developed through years of experience in African healthcare projects. This approach ensures every project is implemented efficiently, from early consultation to long-term support.
Each stage is carefully managed to align design, equipment, and operations — ensuring every hospital achieves a safe, efficient, and sustainable surgical environment.
While the detailed methodology remains exclusive to our clients, you can explore the full framework — including workflow design, procurement optimization, and implementation model — in our Operating Room Solution White Paper.
