® Clinical Engineering: the management, support, development and quality assurance of healthcare technology as part of safe, cost-effective and sustainable healthcare delivery.
(Working Committee on Clinical Engineering, 2000)
No, CEASA is not a part of ECSA. CEASA is the official voice representing you at
ECSA. It may be that some CEASA members are also active within ECSA in various
capacities, but the two entities are entirely different. Since CEASA is your
officially recognised Association, members are afforded a discount from ECSA when
they professionally register .
On 12 September 2000, in order to have input into this process and follow developments as a unified grouping, a number of active practitioners in the field, launched the Clinical Engineering Association of South Africa (CEASA),
from what was left of the dormant South African Association for Clinical Engineering (SAACE).
On 31 July 2003, the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) approved
the establishment of our new registration category: Clinical Engineering
Practitioners. To view the current status of this process, click
