    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Medical equipment are essential for a functioning health system. Medical equipment in&lt;br&gt;
particular are crucial in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illness and disease, as well&lt;br&gt;
as patient rehabilitation. The objective of this study is to analyse the medical equipment supply&lt;br&gt;
chain management of public hospitals under Addis Ababa Regional Health Bureau. Both&lt;br&gt;
quantitative and qualitative approaches are used in an explanatory and descriptive research&lt;br&gt;
design. A total of 339 samples were taken from 2231 population. Across sectional data was&lt;br&gt;
collected using Simple random sampling and purposive sampling methods for quantitative and&lt;br&gt;
qualitative data collection respectively. Structured questionnaires and open ended interview&lt;br&gt;
questions are used as a tool for data collection. The data were analysed using both descriptive&lt;br&gt;
and inferential statistical tools. Moreover, the result was described using mean, frequency and&lt;br&gt;
standard deviation, and the researcher was also applied parametric statistical test&lt;br&gt;
(correlations, and regression analysis (Simple, multiple)) to interpret and analyze the data,&lt;br&gt;
using Statistical Package for Social Science version 21.The findings showed that the efficiency&lt;br&gt;
of medical equipment supply chain management in public hospitals is found to be strongly&lt;br&gt;
affected by the procurement, inventory, transportation and warehouse management practices.&lt;br&gt;
Majority of respondents disagree for having good procurement, inventory, transportation and&lt;br&gt;
warehouse management in public hospitals under Addis Ababa Regional Health Bureau. From&lt;br&gt;
the overall findings we can conclude that medical equipment supply chain management&lt;br&gt;
practices of public hospitals under Addis Ababa Regional Health Bureau is inefficient which&lt;br&gt;
will contribute for not giving quality health service. This is mainly due to poor practices in the&lt;br&gt;
procurement, inventory, transportation and warehouse management. From the findings of the&lt;br&gt;
study 44.5 percent of the variance in efficiency of medical equipment supply chain was&lt;br&gt;
explained by the variance of explanatory variables, while the rest 55.5 percent was contributed&lt;br&gt;
by other factors that were not included in the model.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
