DRE Medical has been supplying hospitals and clinics in Ghana and across Africa since 1984. We are FDA-registered and ISO 13485:2016 certified. We also carry one of the most comprehensive medical equipment catalogs available from a US supplier.
Ghana’s medical device market is valued at approximately $89 million and projected to reach $111 million by 2026, driven by private sector investment and growing demand for advanced surgical and diagnostic equipment. With 98% of all medical devices used in Ghana imported, the opportunity for a well-connected local distributor representing a credentialed US supplier is substantial.
We are actively seeking authorized distributors in Ghana to help us serve the growing demand for high-quality new and certified refurbished medical equipment in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Takoradi, Cape Coast, and throughout the country.
If you are an established medical equipment distributor in Ghana or a business professional with strong relationships in the Ghanaian healthcare sector, then we want to hear from you.
Why Partner with DRE Medical
A catalog that covers the full hospital.
From anesthesia machines and surgical tables to patient monitors, defibrillators, infusion pumps, hospital beds, and surgical lights, DRE Medical can supply equipment across every department of a hospital or clinic. Your clients come to you for one piece of equipment, but you can serve their full facility needs from a single US source.
New and certified refurbished options.
DRE Medical offers both new equipment and professionally refurbished equipment certified to perform to OEM specifications. This gives you the flexibility to serve clients at almost any budget level. That means you can work with a range of clients from well-funded private hospital groups in Accra to smaller specialist clinics and mission hospitals in secondary cities.
Full Ghana FDA documentation support.
Registering refurbished medical devices with the Ghana FDA requires a specific documentation package, including a GRP certificate from the refurbisher, a refurbishment report, performance and safety test results, and a Certificate of Free Sale. DRE Medical can provide this complete documentation package. When you represent DRE Medical, you represent a supplier whose credentials directly support the FDA registration process. That will make your client conversations easier and reduce the risk of delays or complications during import.
40+ years of experience shipping to Ghana.
We have been sending containers to Ghana for decades and understand the documentation, customs, and logistics requirements involved in importing medical equipment. We will not leave you to figure out the process alone.
FDA registration and ISO 13485:2016 certification.
These credentials matter to your clients and to FDA Ghana’s QMS compliance requirements. When you represent DRE Medical, you represent a supplier whose quality and compliance standards are independently verified.
Competitive distributor pricing.
We offer competitive pricing structures for authorized distributors, with volume discounts available for larger orders. Pricing details are discussed during the application process.
Ongoing support.
Our international team is available to support you through quotation, order processing, documentation, and delivery. We want to be a partner with our distributors, not just a vendor.
Why a Local Distributor Partnership Makes Sense for Ghana
Importing and registering medical equipment in Ghana involves navigating FDA Ghana registration requirements, customs documentation, and coordination with local biomedical engineers for installation and commissioning. The registration process for refurbished devices in particular, which requires a GRP certificate, refurbishment reports, safety test results, and a refurbishment plan, along with other documents, benefits significantly from a local partner who understands the process and has established relationships with the relevant regulatory contacts.
This is why we take distributor partnerships in Ghana seriously. We are looking for partners who understand the market, have real relationships with hospitals, clinics, and health institutions, and are committed to representing DRE Medical’s products and standards professionally.
What We Look for in a Distributor
We work with distributors who have existing relationships in the Ghanaian healthcare sector, with hospital administrators, procurement managers, surgeons, clinic owners, or government health bodies. Ideal candidates have:
- Experience selling medical equipment or related healthcare products in Ghana
- An established network of contacts in hospitals, clinics, or public health institutions in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Takoradi, or other Ghanaian cities
- Familiarity with the Ghana FDA registration and import process for medical devices, or the capacity to develop this
- The ability to identify and develop sales opportunities in their region
- A commitment to representing DRE Medical’s products and standards professionally
We do not require exclusivity. Ghana is a diverse market, and we welcome multiple authorized distributors operating in different regions or market segments.
