• Pharmaceutical applications
Requests for information not relevant to MDs/IVDs need to be removed from requirements and guidelines eg. GMP certificates
• Multiple and duplicate regulatory pathways
In some countries, several authorities claim the legal mandate to regulate medical devices therefore creating more than one registration pathway for a product. This results in increased costs, increased time to market, and duplication of efforts by the manufacturer. These legal mandates can take many years to resolve
(Professional Councils, PVoC, WHO PQ, etc)

Key Strategic Considerations • Africa is not one country
• There is such a thing as ‘African Time’
• South Africa is not as ‘revered’ as you might
think
• Cultural differences should be a critical part of
the decision making process
• Understanding of country specific healthcare
needs and priorities is paramount
• Ministries want to see ‘genuine’ investment
(knowledge / people)
• The private sector is small but growing rapidly
