Partner with MediGear in the Gozo Region
Together, Gozo and Comino form the Gozo Region, which the National Statistics Office treats as a single statistical district. Victoria is the principal town, surrounded by villages such as Xagħra, Nadur, Xewkija and Għajnsielem, and Gozitan residents are on average slightly older than those on Malta. The only hospital on the island is Gozo General Hospital, with 322 beds, 161 of them for long-term care. It also maintains a teaching alliance with the Barts and The London Medical School. Victoria Health Centre offers primary care, and the Gozo Channel ferry between Mġarr and Ċirkewwa transports passengers and commercial freight. The Ġgantija temples at Xagħra belong to a UNESCO World Heritage site.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. Its partner program opens that catalogue to businesses in the Gozo Region selling into residential care homes, private clinics, pharmacies and dental practices across the island, as well as Gozo General Hospital and Victoria Health Centre.
Partnership Opportunities for Businesses in the Gozo Region
Three program tracks are open to businesses in the Gozo Region. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Become a MediGear Sales Agent
Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and sales materials and product support are provided. A representative based in Victoria can reach every institutional buyer on Gozo within a brief journey. Established relationships with the hospital and residential homes matter more than organisational size.
Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — the Gozo Region alone, or Gozo combined with northern Malta. 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.
Become a MediGear Reseller
Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network, or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment and no market development obligation.
Who Can Become a MediGear Partner in the Gozo Region?
Companies in the Gozo Region with a registered business and a route to healthcare buyers are eligible to apply. Applications commonly come from:
-
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying public and private hospitals
-
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
-
Online medical supply stores and e-commerce operators
-
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
-
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
-
Dental, laboratory and elderly care equipment resellers
Island logistics distinguishes applicants here. Keeping inventory on the island spares a medical equipment supplier in the Gozo Region the delays of the ferry crossing. For resellers, dental equipment in Victoria and home care products represent natural starting points.
What You Get as a MediGear Partner
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets.
Full product catalogue. 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.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the team by email, so you can focus on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery,y and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in the Gozo Region.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in the Gozo Region
Medical devices sold anywhere in the European Union fall under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which fixes classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties before any supply arrangement begins. The national competent authority is the Medicines Authority, which covers market surveillance, vigilance and operator obligations; its guidance is published by the Medicines Authority.
Under the Regulation, distributors and importers carry duties of their own, among them verifying CE marking and the declaration of conformity, checking labelling and instructions, keeping traceability records and forwarding complaints. The wider structure is set out in the EU medical devices framework.
Customs entry for arrivals from outside the Union is processed by the Customs Department under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Why Businesses in the Gozo Region Work with MediGear
Public tenders illustrate the demand: in 2026, the Department of Contracts sought vital signs monitors for emergency care at the hospital and 15 defibrillators with crash carts. Diagnostic imaging, including CT scanners and X-ray equipment, and patient monitors for the wards are renewed on planned cycles. Clinics and residential facilities contribute regular orders of medical devices and supplies in the Gozo Region.
Most purchasing of medical equipment in Victoria originates with the hospital and neighbouring clinics, while village pharmacies stock medical supplies in Xagħra and Nadur. Employers on the local industrial estate generate occupational demand, acquiring first aid and medical equipment for Xewkija workshops.
An elderly population depends on home care equipment in the Gozo Region, and pharmacies in the principal town hold medical supplies for Victoria and Għajnsielem customers. A hospital equipment supplier in the Gozo Region that maintains spares and offers medical equipment servicing locally avoids days of waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions
The program is open to companies registered with the Malta Business Registry and with a genuine route to healthcare buyers in the Gozo Region: equipment distributors and importers, independent sales agents, online medical supply stores, biomedical engineering firms, practice fit-out companies, and dental, laboratory, or elderly care resellers. Speciality experience carries more weight 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,l and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
No. Joining is free for businesses in the Gozo Region. There are no registration charges, subscriptions, ns or upfront payments required to become an agent, distributor, tor or reseller. Distributors and resellers purchase the products they sell, and partners arrange their own local delivery, storage and any marketing they 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.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can demonstrate market reach, financial capability,y and alignment with MediGear standards, assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new category. With few institutional buyers on the island, a medical equipment distributor in the Gozo Region would usually combine it with northern Malta.
Partners receive onboarding, product knowledge materials, regulatory guidance for their market, sales tools and co-branded marketing assets. The partnerships team handles order queries, supplier negotiations and logistics coordination, including certification and customs documentation for inbound consignments.
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 registration, notification, and language requirements on top of that, so confirm what applies to each device before quoting.
English is used widely in Maltese healthcare, and Maltese is also an official language, so what is acceptable for labelling and instructions depends on the device, its class,s and its intended user. Confirm the requirement for each product before quoting.
