The journey towards creating a department of biomedical engineering technology in Lagos State College of Health Technology took off in the year 2020. Biomedical engineering technology department is a pioneer clinical engineering training school in Lagos State College of Health Technology. The department was created with a vision of training Biomedical Engineering Technologists who will become gainfully engaged and responsible for the repairs and maintenance of medical machines, engineering facilities and installations in the many state run medical establishments, and other organizations who require their services. Several hurdles, along the way, tested our resolve for the establishment of a vibrant career pathway for the teeming youth population of Lagos State. From challenges such as space constraints due to the limited land area of 3,849 square meter to construction/setting up of adjudged suitable laboratories and workshops to procurement of numerous expensive training machines, tools and gadgets. The doggedness and determination of the management of the college has seen the department through these challenges and here, we present a report of the successes gained since the commencement of the diploma programme in biomedical engineering technology.
