Technical specifications for procurement are indispensable for good health services.
Problems, lack of good technical specifications: Increase: costs, corruption, possibility of getting bad quality products, or not compatible to setting or inappropriate.Bad bidding process with not appropriate TS lead to: Lack of right consumables, Equipment not being installedHuman resources not trainedWarranties not available
Maintenance not performed…etc.
Consequences:
misdiagnose, mistreatment, delay in service provision, bad quality and unsafe Outcome:Patient’s health in risk of becoming complicatedPatient need to pay costly out of pocket to get health service urgent.

Conclusions
The needs to define a way forward to: Disseminate the list of priority medical devices Disseminate the list of priority assistive devicesDevelop technical specifications for all these products, to increase availability in the market and better health service provision. Work on technical specifications in a harmonized way using same template across UN agencies, adapted to type of technology. Define the strategies to have a common publicly available nomenclature of medical devices (similar to the INN).
