Medical Equipment Supplier to Nigeria
Nigeria buys more medical devices than any other market in West Africa, and almost all of it enters through the Lagos port cluster — Apapa, Tin Can Island, and the newer Lekki Deep Sea Port — or lands at Murtala Muhammed International. From Jebel Ali, NOVOSIC runs both routes: fourteen to twenty days on the water, eight hours in the air.
It is a distributor-led market. Federal teaching hospitals such as LUTH and UCH Ibadan, and a fast-growing private hospital sector in Lagos and Abuja, are supplied through importers who carry the NAFDAC registrations — and who want one consolidated consignment, one invoice, and one packing list covering every brand they buy, rather than fragments arriving from four origins.
Medical devices imported into Nigeria require NAFDAC product registration, which the local importer holds. NOVOSIC backs that process with the manufacturer paperwork — IFUs, CE certificates, and batch records — that NAFDAC dossiers and hospital receiving teams call for.
