Sale on Manual & Electric Hospital Beds - Starting from 25 September!
Larnaca is the island's main air gateway, with Larnaca General Hospital and a district shaped by the airport and port.
Larnaca sits on the south-east coast and holds the island's principal international airport, along with a commercial port and a growing residential population. Larnaca General Hospital provides public acute care, the airport makes the district the main point of entry for people and time-critical goods, and coastal tourism adds seasonal demand along the bay.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. The partner program places that catalogue behind businesses operating in Larnaca. Buyers here include Larnaca General Hospital, the State Health Services Organisation as the public buyer, the private clinics and diagnostic centres serving the city and the bay, occupational health providers across the airport and logistics sector, and dental and diagnostic practices across the district.
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Larnaca. The business models differ; the catalogue behind them does not. The right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Agents operate on introductions rather than transactions. Qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams are presented to MediGear, which subsequently carries quotation, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Commission on confirmed sales constitutes the remuneration mechanism, and because no inventory is acquired or retained, commercial exposure is eliminated. Sales materials and product support accompany the arrangement. It suits consultants and independent representatives who understand how a purchasing group evaluates a submission. Agents in Larnaca usually work with the general hospital and the coastal private clinics.
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market: a single province, a pairing of neighbouring provinces, a language community, or national coverage of one product group. Products are purchased at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination are included. A distributorship here covers the district, sometimes extended for time-critical logistics by agreement.
The reseller arrangement carries the least commitment of the three. Inventory is purchased at wholesale and resold independently through a medical business, online establishment, sales network or customer base the partner already operates, on whatever commercial terms the partner determines. Order quantities remain flexible throughout. No territorial or official distribution rights attach, which eliminates any territorial commitment or market development obligation. Resellers here run a medical supply business serving the district practices.
A partner here works a gateway district where the airport, the general hospital and coastal demand all shape the market. Companies entered in the Cyprus register of companies with a genuine route to healthcare buyers are eligible, and the businesses that apply are usually:
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying hospitals around Larnaca.
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
Online medical supply businesses and e-commerce operators
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
Laboratory, dental and rehabilitation equipment resellers working across Larnaca
Category experience outweighs turnover. A company that has supplied a department at Larnaca General Hospital is a stronger applicant than a larger trader with no clinical record in the district.
The essentials of the Larnaca territory in one view.
| District seat | Larnaca |
|---|---|
| Administrative tier | A district of the Republic of Cyprus (government-controlled area) |
| Language of procurement documents | Greek |
| Principal institutional buyers | Larnaca General Hospital, the State Health Services Organisation as the public buyer, the private clinics and diagnostic centres serving the city and the bay, occupational health providers across the airport and logistics sector, and dental and diagnostic practices across the district |
| Usual route for imported consignments | Larnaca holds the island's main airport and a commercial port, so imported consignments, especially time-critical equipment, clear inside the district and reach the buyer quickly. |
| National competent authority | Cyprus Medical Devices Competent Authority (Ministry of Health) |
| Neighbouring partner territories | Limassol and Paphos |
Cyprus has six historic districts; Larnaca is one of them, and this page covers the government-controlled area where EU rules apply. Partner coverage of the wider country is set out on the Cyprus partner page.
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets. Terms are confirmed in writing before the first order.
Full product catalogue. Partners quoting buyers around Larnaca draw on one range: certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.
Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry, and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation, including items outside the current catalogue. Partners in Larnaca use it most for department refits.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the MediGear team by email, so a partner working across Larnaca can concentrate on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns to put in front of buyers across Larnaca.
Regulatory support. Import guidance, certification documentation and links to local regulatory consultants for registration questions raised by buyers around Larnaca.
Public tenders are documented in Greek, and Greek-language labelling and instructions are expected for the devices supplied under them where required. Classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties are set across the European Union by Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and they apply before a supply arrangement is agreed. In Cyprus, the competent authority is the Cyprus Medical Devices Competent Authority, part of the Ministry of Health, responsible for market surveillance, vigilance and notification. Guidance is published by the Ministry of Health.
The Regulation places defined duties on distributors and importers, including checking CE marking and the declaration of conformity, confirming Greek-language labelling and instructions where required, keeping traceability records and forwarding complaints. The Cyprus Medical Devices Competent Authority supervises operators established in Cyprus, and the surrounding structure appears in the EU medical devices framework.
Larnaca holds the island's main airport and a commercial port, so imported consignments, especially time-critical equipment, clear inside the district and reach the buyer quickly. Goods entering from outside the customs union clear through the Customs and Excise Department under the Ministry of Finance, following Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear does not act as economic operator of record for partner products, and gives no regulatory advice.

A partner based here can move time-critical equipment others cannot match on timing. Businesses buying rather than selling can use the MediGear buyer route, and manufacturers seeking distribution should look at the supplier program.
Gateway logistics are the first reason partners cite. Larnaca airport is the fastest route into Cyprus for time-critical equipment, and a partner based here can move it to the buyer while others wait on sea freight.
Audit readiness is the second. Public and EU-funded projects are reviewed after the fact, and documentation that survives that review protects the buyer as well as the supplier.
Coverage is the third. A general hospital refitting a department wants one counterparty answerable for the whole job rather than a separate supplier for each line.
This page is published for general business and information purposes and is not an offer of partnership. MediGear reviews all applications, and approval is not guaranteed. Any partnership that proceeds is governed by the written terms agreed between MediGear and the partner. Product availability, category coverage, territory arrangements, commercial terms and any commission or margin structure vary by application and may change. The regulatory information here is general information about the Cypriot framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, together with the national notification and Greek-language provisions administered by the Cyprus Medical Devices Competent Authority, depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes. Partner businesses in Larnaca remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.
Apply with your business details, the parts of Larnaca you cover and the track that interests you. The MediGear partnerships team reviews every application and will come back to you to discuss it.
Any company registered in the Cyprus Register of Companies with a genuine route to healthcare buyers can apply. Larnaca's airport gives a partner here a logistics advantage for time-critical equipment, and applicants who can use it are well placed. The eligible categories are listed above, and category experience counts for more than company size.
Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock. Authorised distributors represent MediGear in an agreed territory, purchase at distributor level and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
Joining is free. No registration charge, subscription or upfront payment applies to the agent, distributor or reseller tracks in Larnaca. Partners purchase the products they resell and meet their own trading overheads, such as local delivery, storage and any marketing run beyond the assets MediGear provides.
Agents earn commission on confirmed sales rather than a retainer. The rate depends on the product category, the order value and the volume you bring, and is confirmed in writing before you begin introducing buyers. Because agents hold no stock and carry no inventory risk, earnings simply follow completed orders.
It can. Larnaca holds the island's main international airport, the fastest way to bring in time-critical equipment, so a partner based here is well placed to serve urgent deliveries across Cyprus, not only the district. Coverage beyond Larnaca is set out in the territory agreement rather than assumed, and a partner may agree a wider territory. Raise the intended scope at the discovery call.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors able to demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, and are assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new product category. A territory may be one province, a group of provinces, a language community, or national coverage of one product group.
Yes. A device must carry a CE marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, with conformity assessment appropriate to its class, before it is placed on the European market. Member States may add national notification and language requirements on top of that, so confirm what applies to each device before quoting a buyer in Larnaca.
Where devices are supplied to users, Greek-language labelling and instructions are generally expected, and tender documents in Larnaca usually make the requirement explicit. Devices intended solely for healthcare institutions may in some cases be supplied in another language the user reads, so confirm the position per product.
