Abstract

This study aims to determine the process of medical equipment procurement planning in the Inpatient Unit of the Boliyohuto Regional General Hospital, Gorontalo Regency.

This research type is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data used are primary data and secondary data with data sourced from observations, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this research were 3 people who were directly involved in the process of medical equipment procurement planning in the inpatient unit of the Boliyohuto Regional General Hospital.

The results of the research showed that the planning process for medical equipment needs had several obstacles in reducing the number of medical devices because the available budget was insufficient, Besides that one of the obstacles is the hospital does not yet have its procurement officer, the procurement process is not fully maximized because it must be adjusted to the existing budget and adjusted to the number of patient visits, so, only focus on urgent needs, this causes the availability of medical equipment not yet fully by class D hospital standards.
