Popis: In order for the Health Technology Management Policy at the state level to be successfully implemented, first of all, adequate personnel are necessary, and among these, biomedical engineers play an important role. Biomedical engineers (clinical engineers) work in a wide range of settings and disciplines in the health sector and play a key role in: innovation, design and development of new technologies in health care; testing, implementation and development of new diagnostic tools and medical equipment; defining safety standards for medical equipment; maintenance of (complex) medical equipment. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia labeled the biomedical engineering workforce as a "critical workforce". This critical workforce is defined as "a workforce that contributes to critical and essential elements of health technology management, especially in the domain of maintenance and replacement of (complex) medical equipment, now and in the future".
