Abstract

Metallurgical and materials engineering plays a pivotal role in advancing healthcare technologies. From the development of biocompatible implants and medical devices to innovations in radiological imaging, laboratory sciences, pharmacy, and healthcare information management, metallurgical advancements have revolutionized medical practices. This multidisciplinary review explores the integration of metallurgical technologies across healthcare sectors, emphasizing the use of advanced metals and alloys, their applications in diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and their contributions to public health systems, particularly in safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The implications for cross-disciplinary collaborations and the alignment with global healthcare goals are also highlighted.
