A medicine, a device or a diagnostic test only creates value abroad when the right partner carries it, under the right terms, to the right prescribers.

Notes from the field

Recurring questions in health export, answered briefly.

Regulatory · Latin America

Who should own your veterinary registration?

Often the local distributor holds it, which creates a strategic dependency.

Read

In Brazil, Ecuador or Colombia, changing distributor can mean filing a new registration. Negotiate ownership or transfer of the registration in the distribution agreement from day one.

Medical devices · Tenders

Export grants can fund the first year abroad

National and regional schemes often cover part of prospection costs.

Read

In a medical device turnaround, more than €400K of export grants financed trade missions, tenders and country set-up. Build the funding plan alongside the market plan, not after it.

Finance · Payments

A solvent distributor can still fail to pay

Currency controls are a risk that credit checks miss.

Read

In parts of the Caribbean and Latin America, healthy distributors may not get the USD or EUR they need. Plan the payment route during partner selection: correspondent bank, deposits, credit insurance, currency account.
