Anna Worm

Anna Worm serves as an Independent Advisor on Biomedical Equipment challenges at TU Delft, where she combines her biomedical engineering expertise with practical experience in healthcare technology management for developing countries. After earning her master's degree in biomedical engineering from TU Delft, she has established herself as a key expert in bridging the gap between theoretical solutions and practical implementation in limited-resource settings. Her work focuses on three critical areas: training biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) to address the 40-70% equipment failure rate in low-resource settings, coordinating medical equipment procurement strategies, and advising Ministries of Health on sustainable healthcare technology management. Through her role in connecting stakeholders and managing healthcare projects, she helps develop sustainable solutions for maintaining and operating medical equipment in challenging environments. Her expertise is particularly valuable given that many developing countries lack proper infrastructure and trained personnel to maintain sophisticated medical equipment, making her work in BMET education and project coordination essential for improving healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings.
