Abstract
Health Technology (HT) is vital to global health care. The dependence of health, rehabilitation, and wellness programs on technology for the delivery of services has never been greater. It is essential that health technology be optimally managed. Clinical and biomedical engineers have been recognized by WHO as essential to providing this management. At the 1st International Clinical Engineering and HT Management Congress and Summit held in China in 2015, a resolution was adopted by the global Clinical Engineering (CE) country participants to identify and promote our unique qualifications, and to record the CE contributions to the improvement of world health status. A first group of CE Success Stories was captured, 150 from 90 countries—from the prior 10 years and presented to health leaders at the WHO World Health Assembly in 2016. In 2017, another 250 with a total of 125 countries were added from 2016–2017 presentations.
