A pioneering proposal to give a second life to used medical equipment by redirecting it from government hospitals to medical and health sciences colleges for teaching and training purposes has won unanimous backing from the Southern Municipal Council, in a move hailed as a win for sustainability, education and public finances.
The initiative was put forward by council chairman Abdulla Abdullatif, who said the idea stemmed from a simple but powerful question: why should functional medical equipment be sold or auctioned when it can instead shape the next generation of doctors, nurses and health professionals?
“This proposal is about maximising the value of public assets and ensuring that nothing useful goes to waste,” said Mr Abdullatif .
