Regional Secretariat for Health prepares centralised purchasing of clinical material with annual savings exceeding 325 thousand Euros
The Regional Secretariat of Health will open the public tender for the centralised purchasing of clinical consumables for the three regional hospitals, which will result in annual savings over 325 thousand Euros.
The process comprises twenty items, including dialysis and operating theatre equipments, syringes, catheters, bed pads, personal protective equipment as well as articles for oxygen therapy and aerosol therapy.
Without the procedures for centralised purchasing, the items covered by this tender would cost about two million Euros.
Several meetings have taken place to ensure that, at least, 80 percent of the products used in hospitals can be covered by centralised purchasing.
The items comprised by this tender can also purchased by Island Health Units at the same prizes.
