Healthcare consultancy · Pacific region

Healthcare
infrastructure,
engineered for
the Pacific.

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.

A consultancy built
from the ground up,
not the top down.

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.

Evidence-based

Recommendations triangulated across records, physical stock, and frontline staff.

Locally grounded

Solutions designed for outer-island logistics, not metropolitan supply chains.

Standards-aligned

Procurement frameworks aligned with national codes and donor compliance.

Service-first

From hands-on installation experience — we know what good service looks like.

Nab Baniya

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.

Five service lines.
One integrated partnership.

Each service stands alone — but they're designed to work as one system, with shared standards, shared data, and shared accountability.

01

Procurement
consultancy

From specification through contract management — we help health authorities run procurement that's compliant, transparent, and fit-for-purpose. We design SOPs, set up procurement plans, evaluate suppliers, and build the records that survive audit.
  • Procurement SOPs
  • Bid evaluation
  • Vendor management
  • Compliance & audit
02

Biomedical
engineering

Asset planning, installation oversight, preventative maintenance planning, corrective maintenance services and lifecycle management for medical equipment. Backed by years of hands-on engineering — we validate specifications with the people who actually use the kit.
  • Asset registers
  • Equipment planning
  • Preventative maintenance
  • Corrective maintenance
  • Decommissioning
03

Inventory
management

We help health systems see and trust their stock — designing inventory workflows across warehouse, pharmacy, and clinical units, integrating systems like Microix, M-Supply and MIP, embedding stocktake discipline, and producing quarterly and annual forecasts that drive procurement planning.
  • Stock workflows
  • System integration
  • Stocktake & reconciliation
  • Quarterly & annual forecasting
  • Reporting
04

Healthcare
HR solutions

Recruitment, retainer staffing, and workforce planning for hospitals — from biomedical technicians and procurement officers to clinical leadership. We source across the region and beyond, with deep knowledge of Pacific health workforce needs.
  • Permanent recruitment
  • Retainer placements
  • Workforce planning
  • Capacity building
05

Equipment
& parts supply

Trusted supply of medical equipment, consumables and spare parts — sourced from vetted manufacturers, with logistics planned for Pacific freight realities and installation supported on-island where needed.
  • Capital equipment
  • Consumables
  • Spare parts
  • Installation support

Building local capacity,
not dependency.

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.

01.

Procurement

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.

  • Officer pairing & mentoring
  • SOP rollout & coaching
  • Bid panel facilitation
  • Compliance & records discipline
02.

Inventory management

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.

  • Inventory system training
  • Stocktake & reconciliation
  • Receiving & dispensing practice
  • Monthly reporting routines
03.

Biomedical engineering

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.

  • Preventative maintenance planning
  • Corrective maintenance & fault diagnosis
  • Workshop & tools setup
  • Asset register practice

Across the
blue continent.

From atolls to capitals — wherever care is delivered.

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.

A four-stage
partnership model.

i.

Listen & assess

We start on-site — talking to clinicians, warehouse staff, finance and IT. Records are triangulated with physical reality.

ii.

Design with you

Workflows, SOPs and specifications co-developed with the people who'll use them — never imposed from outside.

iii.

Implement & train

Procurement runs, systems go live, equipment installs — alongside hands-on training and clear handover documentation.

iv.

Hand over & sustain

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.
Our operating principle · est. across 10+ years of Pacific health work

Let's build healthcare
systems that endure.

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.
