DRE Medical has been supplying hospitals and clinics around the world since the 1980s. We are FDA-registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and carry one of the most comprehensive medical equipment catalogs available from a US supplier.
Nigeria is one of Africa’s most significant healthcare markets, and one where demand for high-quality imported medical equipment is growing. Private providers now handle an estimated 60 to 70 percent of all outpatient care in the country, and the medical device market is projected to grow from $414.8 million in 2025 to $632 million by 2030. Private hospitals and specialist clinics in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano are actively investing in equipment upgrades to attract patients, retain critical clinical staff, and expand their service offerings.
We are actively seeking authorized distributors in Nigeria to help us serve this growing demand. If you are an established medical equipment distributor in Nigeria or a business professional with strong relationships in the Nigerian 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 may come to you for one piece of equipment, but you will be able to 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 OEM specifications. This gives you the flexibility to serve clients across a wide range of budgets, from well-funded private hospital groups in Lagos to smaller specialist clinics and mission hospitals in secondary cities.
40 years of international experience.
We have been shipping equipment to Africa for decades and understand the documentation requirements involved in importing medical equipment to Nigeria. We will not leave you to figure out the logistics alone.
FDA registration and ISO 13485:2016 certification.
These credentials matter to your clients, and to the NAFDAC registration process. When you represent DRE Medical, you represent a supplier whose quality and compliance standards are independently verified, and whose documentation supports the NAFDAC import process. That makes your job easier and your client relationships stronger.
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 Nigeria
Importing medical equipment into Nigeria involves navigating NAFDAC registration requirements, customs documentation, port clearance, and coordination with local biomedical engineers for installation and commissioning. A distributor with established relationships in the Nigerian healthcare sector and experience managing the local regulatory and logistics process is not just a sales channel — they are an essential part of making the import process work smoothly for both DRE Medical and the end customer.
This is why we take distributor partnerships in Nigeria seriously. We are looking for partners who understand the market, have real relationships with hospitals and clinics, 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 Nigerian 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 Nigeria
- An established network of contacts in hospitals, clinics, or public health institutions in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, or other major Nigerian cities
- Familiarity with the NAFDAC registration and import process for medical devices
- The ability to identify and develop sales opportunities in their region
- A commitment to representing DRE Medical’s products and standards
We do not require exclusivity. Nigeria is a large and diverse market, and we welcome multiple authorized distributors operating in different regions or market segments.
