dc.description Abstract en_US
dc.description.abstract The study showed succinctly that there are really few equipment maintenance manpower in the health facilities and medical laboratory centers of the south-eastern Nigeria as 17.3% nurses on short course training, 20.6% electrical engineers service and maintain the available medical equipment as against 35.3% biomedical engineers/technicians as the study revealed. The study showed that there are very few equipment maintenance manpower due to myriads of reasons which include lack of effective training/re-training of young personnels, influx of obsolete equipment by donor agencies, difficulty in getting or sourcing for spare parts, no support from the government, maintenance manual written in foreign languages, poor practical contents in BMET curricula, technological complexity of modern equipment, no good motivation, no proper enlightenment campaigns etc. Thus, the solutions given by respondents should be upheld with all sense of responsibility for the betterment of BMET in Nigeria. en_US
