description Medical equipment is one of the major infrastructure components of hospitals. Their peak performance is critical to the quality of healthcare services. Clinical engineering (CE) services in Sudanese hospitals have been recently existed therefore this paper aims to evaluate the clinical engineering (CE) departments in Sudanese hospitals. Firstly a robust assessment system has been prepared under the name of clinical engineering services assessment system (CESAS). It contains a questionnaire, documentation audit, site assessment and interviews. Then a sample of CE departments is chosen with confidence of 75% and has been appreciated using CESAS. The weaknesses of CE performance, that form the 78% gap with CESAS target, have been reported. This gap tells a serious problem. Investigating and uncovering of its root causes is recommended.
