Medical Devices Innovation for Africa: enabling industrialisation
Synopsis
Medical device engineering and innovation are en route to being the most sophisticated and celebrated discipline in future!
This book is the proceedings from the MediVentors Consortium funded by the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services SETA (MerSETA) and hosted by the University of Cape Town's Division of Biomedical Engineering within the Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences.
Over 30 students from 4 universities (UCT, CPUT, UKZN and WITS) participated and were trained in this Integrated Skills Development Programme (ISDP) around medical device industrialisation. This book compilation summarises key outcomes from select innovations from our future medical device manufacturing industry leaders.
Come, let us start a new industrial revolution in the Medical Device Industry.
