FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What are the main sales channels for medical devices in South Africa?
Medical devices and IVDs are sold through different channels depending on their intended use, product category and target customer. These include public healthcare procurement, private hospital groups, diagnostic laboratories, specialist practices and medical device distributors.

Public-sector procurement commonly involves formal purchasing and tender processes, while private-sector sales may depend on supplier agreements, clinical requirements and established purchasing relationships.
Yes. Manufacturers with existing distribution arrangements may still require support with sales channel development, commercial strategy, product positioning and distributor performance.

Verion Medical can review market coverage, identify commercial opportunities and support sales development alongside an existing distributor, subject to the agreed commercial arrangements.

This allows manufacturers to strengthen their South African market presence without necessarily changing their distribution partner.
Medical device pricing should account for the total cost of bringing a product to market, including applicable import costs, taxes, exchange-rate exposure, distribution margins, servicing requirements and customer purchasing expectations.

Public and private healthcare buyers may also have different pricing structures and procurement considerations.

Verion Medical assists manufacturers with commercial pricing assessments, competitor positioning and distribution margin considerations to support sustainable medical device sales.
Yes. SAHPRA regulates medical device and IVD advertising under the Medicines and Related Substances Act and the applicable medical device regulations.

Advertising requirements differ according to device classification and the intended audience. Promotional claims must also be consistent with the product’s intended purpose and supporting regulatory evidence.

Verion Medical supports manufacturers and suppliers with commercial planning that takes applicable medical device advertising requirements into consideration.
Public healthcare tender opportunities are generally published through government procurement channels, including the National Treasury eTender Publication Portal.

Prospective suppliers should establish the applicable supplier registration requirements, including Central Supplier Database registration where required, and assess each tender’s technical, regulatory and commercial conditions.

Verion Medical helps suppliers evaluate their commercial readiness for the South African healthcare market. Tender-specific enquiries can be directed to our dedicated medical device tender information page.
