Regulatory pathway

The steps, in order.

For the illustrative device class in this example. Your brief maps your product's actual class.
  1. 01

    Classification

    Device classification is confirmed against the national classification rules. Wrong class at this step invalidates everything downstream.

  2. 02

    Local representation

    A licensed local representative is appointed. No foreign manufacturer files directly.

  3. 03

    Dossier compilation

    Technical file, labeling in the required languages, and existing approvals (CE, FDA) are compiled into the dossier.

  4. 04

    Submission and review

    The dossier is submitted through the regulator's portal. Clock stops on questions; answers restart it.

  5. 05

    Approval and renewal

    Approval is granted with a validity period. Renewal starts 6 months before expiry — not after.

Payer landscape

Who pays, and how.

  • Public procurement runs through centralized tenders; award criteria are published, but payment cycles stretch 90–180 days (illustrative).

  • Private hospitals buy through distributors on negotiated contracts; formulary-style device lists are set per hospital group.

  • Insurance reimbursement for devices is procedure-based — the device is rarely reimbursed as a line item.

  • Donor-funded programs cover specific categories; they follow their own procurement rules, not the national tender.

Top risks

Three things that could break the plan.

Regulatory drift

The illustrative figures above assume stable import rules. A reclassification of this device class would add an estimated 6–9 months.

Payment cycles

Payment cycles in the public segment are the primary cause of distributor failure here — vet for balance-sheet strength, not enthusiasm.

Channel concentration

One dominant distributor controls an estimated third of private hospital supply. Single-channel dependence is a pricing risk.

Bottom line

The one-paragraph answer.

Enter through one vetted distributor with public-tender experience and a balance sheet that survives 180-day payment cycles. File the regulatory dossier in parallel with distributor negotiations — the illustrative timeline is 9–12 months to first revenue. Do not lead with unit price; lead with service coverage.
