Results: Concludes that 54% of respondents said that technology has contributed in the recovery of the health of people and therefore there is a need for management of this technology and a continuous improvement in the technological sector, which needs investment to acquire new technologies and their maintenance and upkeep. During the study it was found that the equipment are mostly discarded when the repair thereof become more expensive than buying new equipment. Also noted that the inappropriate use of such equipment are frequent and not always all equipment purchased are used, allowing a bunch of equipment without proper use and proper care, makes them quickly scrapped. Conclusion: Given these results, we conclude that the technology contributes to the improvement of peoples health, but we must recognize that in addition to the acquisition of the equipment is necessary professional training for the proper use of the equipment and for its maintenance and conservation so that these serve for use throughout its useful life
