Common Challenges for Medical Device Manufacturers Entering Turkey

Entering the Turkish healthcare market offers great opportunities for foreign OEMs, but navigating complex regulatory and procurement requirements can be difficult.

From UTS registration Turkey compliance to public sales through DMO Turkey, here is how international manufacturers can overcome market entry hurdles, protect their product rights, and launch smoothly.

1. Local Legal Entity Requirement

• The Challenge: Turkish MoH regulations require foreign manufacturers to have a legal presence in the country. You must either set up a local company or assign a local representative before selling any devices.
• Our Solution: As your Authorized Representative in Turkey, we provide full legal compliance without the cost, complexity, or overhead of opening a local office.

2. Mandatory UTS Registration Turkey

• The Challenge: Every medical device, equipment, and consumable must complete UTS registration Turkey (Ürün Takip Sistemi) before it can be legally imported, distributed, or sold in the market.
• Our Solution: We handle the entire registration process for Class I, II, and III devices—including technical dossier checks, CE conformity alignment, and GMDN/EMDN coding—ensuring fast and accurate approval.

3. Distributor Lock-In and Registration Risks

• The Challenge: If a sales distributor registers your products under their own UTS account, they control your registration. Switching distributors later means you lose your listing and must repeat the entire UTS registration Turkey process, leading to long delays and sales loss.
• Our Solution: We register and hold your portfolio under an independent Authorized Representative structure. You retain total ownership of your registrations, giving you full freedom to work with or change distributors anytime.

4. Public Procurement & DMO Turkey Access

• The Challenge: Selling to public hospitals often requires navigating DMO Turkey (State Supply Office / Devlet Malzeme Ofisi) catalogues and local reimbursement frameworks (SUT). Foreign OEMs frequently struggle with these procurement hurdles.
• Our Solution: We guide you through the DMO Turkey listing requirements and reimbursement pathways, helping your local distributors access public healthcare tenders faster.
