The Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) has announced the completion of an advanced training workshop focused on the procedures for registering and allowing the circulation of locally manufactured medical devices that do not hold international quality certificates.
During the workshop, participants were introduced to the procedures and steps involved in submitting applications for registering locally manufactured medical devices without European quality certificates, which will be approved by the EDA. Real-life case studies and examples of the required tests and documents for the technical file were also examined.
The workshop further clarified the procedures for issuing import permits for raw materials required for manufacturing, and the role of local medical device manufacturers in expediting the completion of the submission process.
These efforts are part of the EDA's ongoing commitment to effective and continuous communication with companies and local medical device manufacturers. They align with the state's goals of encouraging local Egyptian industries, supporting markets, and achieving the Egyptian government and the EDA's objectives of localizing the medical device industry in Egypt and assisting local manufacturers in reaching the highest quality standards."
