Medical and Hospitals machines & equipments price in Pakistan

After the Corona Virus outbreak, the value of the machines used in hospitals and Pakistan's medical stores has increased. For patients' survival, these machines are necessary as there are several types of diseases in Pakistan. People go into critical condition, and for those patients to survive, the machine is necessary. The common types of machines used in hospitals are ventilators, X-ray machines, blood pressure (BP) check machines, ultrasound machines, echo testing machines, etc.

The hospitals and medical centers of Pakistan also keep a massive budget to purchase these machines. These machines are critical and crucial for the survival of patients suffering from serious diseases. The following are the machines that are commonly used in the hospitals and medical centers of Pakistan.

Types of machines for hospitals and medical in Pakistan

Therefore, the machines that are used in hospitals and medicals in Pakistan are as follows:-

Ventilators Machine:

The most common hospital machines used for patients' survival are ventilators used most commonly in hospitals. After the coronavirus outbreak in Pakistan in February 2020, the ventilators were imported from China. As there were not enough ventilators for the survival of patients in Pakistan; that's why there was a need for ventilators in Pakistan. The function of ventilators is to provide breathing function to the patient as shortness of breath is one of the symptoms of Covid-19 (Corona Virus). Not only that, ventilators are needed for those patients as well who are in critical condition or are suffering from shortness of breath, or are not able to inhale oxygen properly.

Oxygen cylinders:

Oxygen cylinders are used for the sole purpose of providing oxygen to those patients who are suffering from oxygen inhaling problems. However, oxygen cylinders are not similar to ventilators as oxygen is given according to patients' conditions. There are different types of patients who are suffering from other types of shortness of breath. The oxygen cylinders are made in Pakistan as well, and they are imported from UAE as well.

Hospital beds:

These would also be considered a machine. The reason that hospital beds are used in hospitals is so that the patients who are admitted to the hospital would feel comfortable. And these beds are moveable and flexible; moreover, these beds have systems attached to them through which these beds can move up and down according to the patient. These beds come in automatic and semi-automatic forms.

Blood Pressure (BP) machine:

As blood pressure has become one of Pakistan's most common diseases, these blood pressure machines in Pakistani hospitals and medical are ubiquitous. These machines are also standard in doctor's clinics as well now.

Glucometer or diabetes is checking machine:

Just like blood pressure (BP), diabetes has also become a common disease in Pakistan. The demand for Gluco-meter has increased a lot in Pakistan in the past 2-3 decades. These devices can be found in nearly any hospital, medical center, medical store, and clinic. Diabetes checking machine is also common in homes as well due to the reason that many people in Pakistan have diabetes.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan machine:

MRI scan machines are used for radiology purposes. This machine's function is to scan any part of the body and determine which disease the patient is suffering from. MRI scan machines are standard in medical centers and medical testing laboratories, and people could avail of tests and scanning services of their bodies quickly.

X-ray machines:

Another most common machine available in almost every hospital, medical center, medical store, and testing laboratory is an x-ray machine. Since childhood, we have heard x-ray machines' names, and these machines are beneficial to x-ray any part of the body. The X-ray machine is helpful for patients who have suffered a fracture or are involved in an accident, but x-ray machines are used to do chest x-rays. These machines are also used in airports for security purposes to know whether a person is taking any drugs with them, as these x-ray machines also work as body scanners.

Ultrasound machines:

The ultrasound machines are used for ultra-sounding bellies. It is used primarily for pregnant women by whom they would know that they are giving birth to a boy or a girl. However, these machines are limited for that purpose. Instead, these machines are used for patients who have stones in their kidneys or are suffering from other belly problems. These machines make images of the organs inside the body and know which organ is suffering from the problem and how it can be cured. Now portable ultrasound machines have been introduced into the market. It has become convenient that these machines are transferrable, and ultrasound can be made quickly. These machines are available in the market, and people are purchasing them for their home use.

Dental scanning machine:

As stated in the name itself, this machine is used for dental scanning, and dentists commonly use it. These machines are available in the medical centers or clinics of dentists, and they examine the disease that the patients are suffering from. The dental x-ray machine is used to generate a 3D image of the teeth by which the root cause of the problem in teeth would be known if a patient is suffering from it.

Diagnostic medical imaging machines:

Several diagnostic imaging machines are used to create a medical image of the patients. These machines include radiography machines, ultrasound machines, etc. Some of the medical scanning machines fall under this category of diagnostic medical imaging machines.

Therefore, those mentioned above are the machines that are for medical and hospitals in Pakistan. After the Corona Virus outbreak, people's focus shifted towards hospitals, medical centers, medical stores, clinics, etc.

The following suggestions should be followed by hospitals, medical centers, and the people of Pakistan at large:-

Use Pakistani-manufactured machines: The hospitals and medical centers of Pakistan should use Pakistani manufactured machines to benefit the country's economy; otherwise, other countries' economies would help from which the machines would be imported.

Make people aware that machines for medical and hospitals are manufactured in Pakistan as well: Our media does not highlight these points, but it is excellent that Pakistani companies manufacture hospital equipment, machines, and supplies, so people should be made aware of these machines and supplies that are being manufactured and produced by Pakistani companies.

More companies should be opened:

There should be more companies that produce hospital manufacturing machines and equipment. The government should open these types of companies, along with the government's support.

Keep the prices of these machines affordable: After the Corona Virus outbreak, these machines' prices have gone up, and the organizations manufacturing machines have increased the prices to a considerable extent. These devices are in high demand and should not be because they are, so the price should remain affordable.
