00:00.600 --> 00:03.809
A biomedical engineer , technician in

00:03.819 --> 00:06.300
general takes care of any medical

00:06.309 --> 00:09.369
equipment , whether it's dental and X

00:09.399 --> 00:11.232
ray equipment that anything that

00:11.232 --> 00:13.455
touches a patient , they install , they

00:13.455 --> 00:15.699
repair , they troubleshoot and they

00:15.710 --> 00:18.739
also calibrate uh and do preventative

00:18.750 --> 00:20.472
maintenance on them . For this

00:20.472 --> 00:22.694
particular mission . We did pretty much

00:22.694 --> 00:24.917
everything , a little bit of everything

00:24.917 --> 00:27.194
starting from X ray , anesthesia units ,

00:27.194 --> 00:29.530
dental chairs , I mean , we were fixing

00:29.540 --> 00:31.262
and troubleshooting and fixing

00:31.262 --> 00:33.318
equipment and we found it broken and

00:33.400 --> 00:36.270
also we provided also training to the

00:36.279 --> 00:38.959
local biomed , they had to service like

00:38.970 --> 00:41.137
the ventilator unit . So in particular

00:41.137 --> 00:43.137
in cost , right , we , I mean , the

00:43.137 --> 00:45.303
facilities they are really old . So we

00:45.303 --> 00:47.414
have to go far and beyond that , what

00:47.414 --> 00:49.637
we are training for like working on the

00:49.637 --> 00:51.748
electrical , I mean , on the building

00:51.748 --> 00:53.748
electrical issues and also the five

00:53.748 --> 00:56.619
system . So even though we are trained

00:56.630 --> 00:58.741
to work on that , we are not supposed

00:58.741 --> 01:01.074
to touch those part . But here , I mean ,

01:01.074 --> 01:03.241
we have to implement whatever whatever

01:03.241 --> 01:05.459
resources we have available . This is

01:05.470 --> 01:08.589
the only clinic on the island . And

01:08.970 --> 01:12.269
because of your team from us , we are

01:12.279 --> 01:14.980
now able to provide better access to

01:14.989 --> 01:18.190
the pe people and we can now see more

01:18.199 --> 01:21.209
patients because our chairs are fully

01:21.220 --> 01:24.559
equipped . Unlike before they come here ,

01:25.069 --> 01:28.160
maybe we send them away because our

01:28.330 --> 01:30.720
equipments are not running properly .

01:30.949 --> 01:33.060
The experience has been challenging .

01:33.060 --> 01:35.769
Obviously , it's really hard for us to

01:35.790 --> 01:37.839
get in touch with the vendors and

01:37.849 --> 01:39.738
manufacturers because of the time

01:39.738 --> 01:42.029
difference being here . And but it

01:42.040 --> 01:44.151
wasn't big of a challenge because the

01:44.151 --> 01:46.345
people that we work with uh for the

01:46.355 --> 01:48.466
dentist provided that we worked at in

01:48.466 --> 01:50.688
this specific dental clinic was able to

01:50.688 --> 01:53.485
find um ways around to getting parts

01:53.495 --> 01:55.606
that we needed . Even though we had a

01:55.606 --> 01:57.773
small uh hardware store , we were able

01:57.773 --> 01:59.995
to get equipment and pretty much figure

01:59.995 --> 02:00.944
out how to get these things going .
