Dear collaborators,
In this issue, we highlight several exciting developments in the clinical engineering community. We begin with the launch of the open-access online database, MeDevIS, by the WHO last month—a significant resource for our field. We also celebrate Clínica Imbanaco's achievement of being awarded the prestigious 2024 ECRI Excellence Award.
Additionally, we shine a spotlight on the success of the Women in Biomedical Engineering Kenya Conference, which took place last June, fostering collaboration and innovation. As we look ahead, don't miss the opportunity to register for the 2024 World Health Innovation Forum—an event that promises to inspire and drive change.
We also celebrate the success of the IFMBE Latin America Summer School, held in Colombia this July, bringing together bright minds from across the region.
In our Collaborator's Column, Keiko Fukuta shares valuable insights on the importance of medical device entrepreneurship programs, urging us to collaborate and innovate together.
We also invite you to contribute to the "Voice of our Collaborators" column with a 90-100 word piece on a topic of your choice. If you're interested in participating in upcoming editions, please contact us!
Kind regards,
Fabiola Martínez
IFMBE CED Chair
