Deliver sensitive healthcare devices seamlessly. We manage Ministry of Health compliance and strict customs clearance for hospitals lacking import licenses.
Request a Medical Logistics QuoteGlobal healthcare manufacturers utilize an IOR Egypt Medical Equipment service to deliver medical devices directly to Egyptian hospitals and clinics under DDP terms. Because most healthcare facilities lack commercial import licenses and Nafeza access, an Importer of Record is required to navigate the strict Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) approvals, generate the ACID number, and clear the equipment legally.

Selling advanced medical devices—from MRI machines to specialized surgical instruments—into the Egyptian market is highly lucrative. However, private hospitals, research universities, and local clinics are healthcare providers, not commercial trading companies.
Most of these institutions do not possess the required commercial import licenses, nor do they have the legal capacity to register on the Nafeza platform to generate an ACID number. If a foreign supplier attempts to ship medical equipment directly to a hospital under standard CIF or DAP terms, the shipment will be halted at customs.
Medical imports in Egypt face the highest level of regulatory scrutiny. The Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) and the Ministry of Health must approve devices to ensure they meet national safety standards.
Using a specialized IOR Egypt Medical Equipment partner like ElNgoom Egypt is non-negotiable. We bridge the gap between your manufacturing standards (FDA/CE marks) and Egyptian local compliance, ensuring your devices secure medical release permits before the shipment arrives at the port.
