Qatar is a rapidly growing and affluent market in the Gulf region, with significant investments in healthcare infrastructure and increasing demand for high-quality pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and health products.
The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH – وزارة الصحة العامة), through its Drug Department and Medical Products Regulation, is the national regulatory authority responsible for the registration, importation, distribution, and post-market oversight of medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and related health products in Qatar. MoPH aligns closely with GCC standards (including GHTF/IMDRF principles) and requires product registration, import permits, quality certificates, and local representation for foreign manufacturers. MedWisdom LifeScience provides expert regulatory affairs support to help global companies navigate Qatar’s requirements, prepare compliant dossiers, secure MoPH approvals and import authorizations, and achieve efficient market entry and sustained compliance in this high-potential GCC market.
