MedPort Africa Group Talk to us

From approved abroad to available at home.

MedPort Africa Group handles regulatory registration, licensing and market entry for medical devices and medicines in South Africa, from the first dossier to the first delivery.

What we handle

South Africa's rules for health products are specific, and they're changing. We take care of the regulatory work so manufacturers can focus on the product and patients can get it sooner.

Medicine registration

Dossier preparation in the format SAHPRA expects, submission, and managing evaluation queries through to approval.

  • Regulatory strategy and pathway advice
  • Dossier compilation in CTD format
  • Responses to evaluator queries

How we work

Every product follows the same four stages. The detail inside each one depends on what the product is and where it's already approved.

  1. Assess

    We classify the product, map the regulatory pathway and identify gaps in the existing evidence.

  2. Prepare

    We build the dossier, quality documentation and South African labelling.

  3. Submit

    We file with SAHPRA, answer evaluator queries and keep you informed at each step.

  4. Launch

    We put licensing, import and distribution in place, then keep the product compliant.

Who we work with

Our work sits between the companies that make health products and the people who need them.

Manufacturers

International brands entering South Africa that need a local partner to register, import and distribute their products.

Distributors

Local businesses adding new products who need licensing, classification or registration support.

Healthcare professionals

Clinicians and practices who want to tell us which treatments their patients are waiting for.
