Course overview

The size of the medical device market in the Middle East has expanded over recent years and this trend is forecast to continue. The growth is due in part to innovations in technology as the majority of Middle Eastern countries are early adopters of technological advancement, which provides opportunities for medical device companies. The regulatory environment in the region is also developing and this annual seminar will provide an essential overview of the key requirements for product approvals for medical devices in the Middle East and North Africa.

The programme will focus on the regulatory requirements and developments in individual countries and include interactive discussion sessions to allow you to exchange experiences with our expert faculty and other delegates.

The course was very informative and the booklet I can take home is fantastic to look back on when a query arises. The speakers were very informative and kept the course interesting. I was hoping to gather more in-depth information and solve uncertain issues I was currently facing in the MEA Market. Heba and Ilona took an interest in the questions and answered all queries. Speakers were very approachable and remembered each of out fields and referred to them during the course if relevant.
