October 2021 | Business View Caribbean profiles Biomedical Enterprises of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (BMETT) for our focus on Healthcare in the Caribbean Region

As a team of fellow-professionals who had been individually chalking up a formidable number of years working in various capacities in the bio-medical field, we spotted an urgent situation developing on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago – namely, medical institutions in the local public and private sectors needed to have access to world-class equipment, systems, and services in order to meet the pressing requirements of practitioners and patients.

In a working example of ‘what goes around, comes around’, professional exchanges between Siemens Healthineers and BMETT have continued to take place.

In early October 2019, a team of Siemens Healthineers from Colombia dropped in on us, to whip through a mix of high-quality training for our BMETT personnel, and rounds of engaging our customers with in-person visits.

Earlier this year, in July 2019, there was the great news that the Couva Medical & Multi-Training Facility (CMMF) was not only now the new location for citizens to collect their CDAP medication, but also the facility where they could receive critically needed diagnostic imaging services.

So what was the BMETT contribution?

Happily: to facilitate the Applications Training for end-users—thus, we at BMETT were able to ensure the start-up of the Radiology Department at CMMF…a place where the T&T public can access Computerized Tomography (CT) Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Flouroscopy, Mammography, Ultra Sound, and X-Ray.
