We help Ministries of Health, hospitals and health centres across Oceania strengthen procurement, inventory and biomedical engineering — building local capacity through on-the-job training, so the systems we put in place keep running long after we leave.
Pacific Health Services brings together biomedical engineering, public procurement, and inventory practice into one integrated capability — and embeds it locally through on-the-job capacity building designed for small island health systems.
Across the Pacific, ministries of health face the same recurring challenges: fragmented procurement, ageing biomedical equipment, opaque inventory, and a constant struggle to recruit and retain technical staff.
We exist to close those gaps — not with imported templates, but by working alongside hospital teams, ministries, and donor partners to design systems that actually fit the place.
Recommendations triangulated across records, physical stock, and frontline staff.
Solutions designed for outer-island logistics, not metropolitan supply chains.
Procurement frameworks aligned with national codes and donor compliance.
From hands-on installation experience — we know what good service looks like.
Nab brings over 13 years of experience across biomedical engineering, medical procurement and international healthcare project management — with a career spanning field service, regional operations, hospital biomedical engineering, and on-the-ground delivery in small island states. He is a Registered Biomedical Engineer with Engineers Australia.
His most recent role was Project Manager with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) in the Republic of the Marshall Islands — leading end-to-end delivery of a medical procurement and health systems strengthening project for the Ministry of Health and Human Services, covering procurement planning, inventory systems, biomedical capacity building and outer-island logistics across Majuro, Ebeye and remote sites.
Prior to that, he served as Lead Biomedical Engineer with UNOPS across multiple Pacific engagements — including medical waste incinerator design and supply in Samoa, health system strengthening initiatives in Tuvalu, biomedical engineering support in Papua New Guinea, and public health laboratory design.
Before joining the UN system, Nab held regional and operations roles with Johnson & Johnson MedTech and Draeger Medical Australia, leading large-scale medical-technology deployments and service operations across Australia and the region — alongside senior biomedical engineering experience in hospital settings. His career began in field service engineering with Konica Minolta in Nepal — an early grounding in hands-on installation and service that he considers foundational to technical competency, and which still shapes how Pacific Health Services approaches every engagement.
Each service stands alone — but they're designed to work as one system, with shared standards, shared data, and shared accountability.
At the heart of every engagement is a simple commitment: the systems we put in place must outlast our presence. We embed capacity building through on-the-job training, co-designed SOPs and documented handovers — so hospitals and health centres own the practice when we leave.
We train procurement officers in planning, market analysis, bid evaluation and contract management — coaching SOPs from policy documents into daily practice and shadowing real procurement cycles end-to-end.
Warehouse, pharmacy and clinical teams learn stock discipline hands-on — across systems like Microix, M-Supply and MIP. Stocktakes, reconciliations and reporting become routine practice, not one-off events.
Local technicians work alongside our engineers on installations, preventative maintenance planning, corrective maintenance and fault diagnosis. We build workshops, asset registers and maintenance routines that survive staff turnover.
A two-year hybrid Diploma in Biomedical Engineering, delivered in partnership with Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). Online theory from professional Australian tutors; daily hands-on practice at the workplace — leading to a recognised Australian qualification for local Pacific health workers.
Pacific Health Services operates across Oceania, supporting both national-level Ministries of Health and individual hospitals and clinics. Our work spans Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.
We're built for the logistical realities of the region — outer-island deliveries, limited local technical capacity, and the need for systems that keep working long after consultants leave.
We start on-site — talking to clinicians, warehouse staff, finance and IT. Records are triangulated with physical reality.
Workflows, SOPs and specifications co-developed with the people who'll use them — never imposed from outside.
Procurement runs, systems go live, equipment installs — alongside hands-on training and clear handover documentation.
We don't disappear at close-out. SOPs, trackers and knowledge transfer notes leave the system stronger than we found it.
The best procurement system is the one that still runs after the consultant has gone home.
Whether you're scoping a hospital equipment programme, redesigning procurement, or need a biomedical engineer on retainer — we'd like to hear what you're trying to solve.
