on 28/01/2020

In the country. Most of the equipment and machines are imported from international companies. Biomedical Engineers are not getting opportunities to serve at government hospitals. Due to joblessness Biomedical Engineers are suffering from depression and anxiety.
The government of Punjab recently recruited more than one hundred and thirty Biomedical Engineers via Punjab Public Service Commission and on the contrary, no such initiative has been taken by the government of Sindh due to lack of leadership and strategy.
Keeping in view the current unfortunate scenario of Biomedical Engineers of Sindh province, government of Sindh should announce the jobs for the Biomedical Engineers of Sindh by conducting test through a proper channel such as Sindh Public Service Commission to recruit them in healthcare sector of Sindh on merit basis, so they can provide services as a service Engineer in hospitals, laboratories, research labs, and other companies. Biomedical Engineers can play a key role in the delivery of healthcare in government sectors. It is recommended to establish research centers and a regulatory department for the testing of machines and equipment being used in hospitals, and provide paid training to the fresh graduates of Biomedical Engineering. It is also proposed to install medical equipment manufacturing units in Sindh to address employment challenges faced by the Biomedical Engineers. Email: salman.abbasi@admin.muet.edu.pk
