Abstract
This paper aims to raise awareness of the importance of Requirements Engineering (RE) for the successful and efficient development of high-quality systems and products for the medical domain. It does so by providing an introduction to RE from the viewpoints of project and programme management and systems engineering in general and by illustrating the usefulness of a sound RE approach to the development of a local healthcare system in a deprived region in central Africa. The paper concludes that RE is just as crucial for the development of systems and products in the medical domain, as it is for the development of systems in the aerospace industry or software systems in the consumer electronics industry; while the degree of detail and formality of how RE is used has to be tailored to fit the context in question.
