Abstract
Emerging countries developing their health care systems with support and donations from the industrialized countries need also support to develop the know-how for management of the equipment they get. The lack of knowledge and competence can be over bridged by well-planned education and training programs based on established programs and routines from the supporting countries where clinical engineering is an established profession. The education and training must have both short-term and long-term goals. It is essential that the country get a good base to develop own educational and managerial systems for health care support. The Albanian project shows an example how this can be realized.
