Abstract

The field of biomedical engineering and the engineer is introduced; thereafter the author reviews the present state of the arts of medicine, engineering and their interface area in Pakistan. The importance of biomedical equipment cannot be denied even in an underdeveloped economy such as Pakistan, where the need for biomedical engineers has not been realised, thereby decreasing the usefulness of biomedical equipment. The lack of engineering staff in the field of medical equipment is observed and remedies are suggested
