Ednah Aswani

I’m a highly motivated Biomedical Engineering professional with a strong foundation in medical equipment lifecycle management and healthcare operations. I combine technical troubleshooting and preventative maintenance with administrative leadership to keep life-saving devices reliable and safe.

At Cana Hospital in Kenya, I spearheaded technical support, installation, and decommissioning of critical medical equipment—ensuring 99% uptime for life-saving devices. I designed and implemented a comprehensive Preventative Maintenance schedule for 50+ biomedical devices, reducing emergency repair costs and extending equipment lifespan.

I lead troubleshooting initiatives for complex diagnostic and therapeutic equipment by partnering closely with clinical staff to minimize downtime and enhance patient safety. I also manage end-to-end procurement and inventory of essential spare parts, perform equipment performance evaluations and safety inspections for compliance, and develop training modules that reduced user-error incidents by 20%.

Alongside engineering work, I’ve served as an Administrative Supervisor, overseeing daily hospital operations and optimizing resource allocation with a multidisciplinary team. I’m passionate about leveraging rigorous technical analysis and proactive problem-solving to support MedTech and Biotech innovation, aligned with Villgro Africa’s mission of sustainable, high-impact health solutions.
