These problems will interfere with the service quality and performance of the hospital.

This type of research is qualitative with a case study design. The key informants were radiographers, medical doctor of radiology specialists, and chief medical officer. Data collection methods consisted of observation methods, in-depth interviews and documentaries. This research shows that the policies and commitments have been formed, but the resources are only sufficient for the minimum requirement.
