An analysis is needed to see what the resultant costs and benefits are. METHOD: The research is accompanied by observations and observations of documents related to medical device maintenance and calibration analysis of equipment using cost-benefit analysis. The study was carried out in 2021 at the Pasuruan District Health Office in East Java Province, Indonesia. RESULTS: It was found that in respect to financial aspects, when viewed from the NPV, the IRR value is found to be 2.34%, the BCR is greater than one, which is 6.95%, and the PI is 8.5. The Regional Maintenance Center at the district health office is feasible to establish and develop in terms of both financial and effectiveness.
