Last week, Gradian hosted a four-day training workshop for several biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) who service the Universal Anaesthesia Machine around the world. Held at our manufacturing facility in the UK, the training brought together BMETs from Sierra Leone, Benin, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to learn the ins and outs of the UAM’s installation and maintenance, ultimately preparing them to become local trainers themselves.

Here are some highlights from the week!

After four intensive days of training, the BMETs pose with their certificates – validating their skills needed for installing and maintaining the UAM.
