The findings of this study indicate that rigorous adherence to calibration schedules, coupled with robust quality control measures and ongoing training, is essential for achieving healthcare excellence in municipalities. Furthermore, the study established a significant positive correlation between proper calibration practices and increased healthcare quality, with long-term cost savings being a notable benefit. Despite these positive outcomes, healthcare institutions face challenges such as the lack of standardized protocols and financial constraints, which hinder the effective implementation of these practices. Therefore, this study calls for targeted strategies to enhance awareness and promote technological advancements, paving the way for innovative and quality healthcare in Sunyani Municipality. Future research could delve deeper into these critical aspects, fostering a healthcare system that embodies precision and innovation.
