One of information technology systems is medical equipment control management which is a software program to medical equipment control and management. In this research responsible for exchanging medical equipment informatics data it is shall be controlled and managed. The programming language Personal Home Page(PHP) with local sever Apache in addition to Cross-platform ,Apache ,MYSQL ,PHP, and Perl (X AMPP) program to facilitate and operating them together in computer which the system installed in it then link it with local net in the hospital by using its IP. And then created database my Structured Query Language ( MYSQL) contains information about the medical equipments which wants to be managed. And this database has Permittivity to add new medical equipments, edit their information and write a report about their condition. After applying the system at Al Neelain medical research institute which provide its effectiveness to improve the performance of the desired health care.
