Right to Repair


Health Technology Right to Repair Position Statement

Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (CMBES) is committed to supporting the Right to Repair movement through awareness, education, and advocacy.

In order to provide safe and effective medical equipment management, biomedical engineering professionals within Canada’s healthcare system require access to service training, documentation, tools, software, and parts.

CMBES is committed to encouraging our members to work together with manufacturers to ensure the functionality and availability of Canada’s medical technology to support safe and timely healthcare delivery. 

Health Technology Right to Repair FAQs will be coming soon (i.e., substantiated facts that support the safety of Medical Equipment being repaired by non-manufacturer Biomedical Engineering professionals and also demonstrate that the recent trend of manufacturers attempting to monetize service has put Canadian patients at risk).
