The Medical Devices Information System (MeDevIS), which was just released by the World Health Organization (WHO), is a major step forward in healthcare around the world. This online tool, which anyone can use, aims to improve how medical devices are given out and used around the world.
Objective of MeDevIS
The main reason MeDevIS was created was to help governments, healthcare officials, and end users. This directory has a lot of information to help people make smart choices about buying, choosing, and using different medical equipment.
Scope of Medical Devices Covered
The site has a list of 2,301 different kinds of medical equipment. These cover a wide range of health issues, from reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health to important infectious diseases like Covid-19 and infectious diseases that don’t spread.
Global Impact and Necessity
Over 10,000 different types of medical devices are sold around the world. These range from simple tools to high-tech devices like heart stents and radiotherapy machines. MeDevIS wants to organize this huge amount of data so that healthcare systems around the world can make better decisions more easily. Medical device information used to be spread out among many different foreign and regulatory body databases before MeDevIS came along. Users often had a harder time getting accurate information because of this segmentation.
Features of MeDevIS
MeDevIS has a central, complete database that has important information about every medical gadget. It tells users what kind of technology they need, what level of healthcare system they need, how big it’s supposed to be, and what kind of infrastructure it needs to work with. WHO has made a big step toward making knowledge about medical devices easier to find and accessible to everyone with MeDevIS. This will improve public health and healthcare around the world. This platform not only helps people make better decisions, but it also helps fill in the gaps in healthcare knowledge around the world.
