baseline country survey on
medical devices was launched in February 2010 by the WHO Department of Essential Health Technologies.
The main objectives of the survey were to determine the key areas which require support for the development or improvement of health technology programmes in countries and regions; and to share knowledge and resources among the
participating countries facilitating decision making on a national, regional and global level.
