Become Equipment Partner in Koshi

Partner with MediGear in Koshi

Koshi Province, previously numbered 1, has 14 districts and almost five million people, with Biratnagar as its capital. The B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan, founded in 1993 through Nepal-India cooperation, is the main teaching hospital in the east, and Koshi Hospital serves the capital. The integrated check post at the Biratnagar and Jogbani crossing, the second busiest transit point on the Indian border after Birgunj, includes quarantine and laboratory facilities.

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 Koshi selling into the B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Koshi Hospital, eye hospitals in Birtamod and Biratnagar, private hospitals, diagnostic centres and dental practices.

Partnership Opportunities for Businesses in Koshi

Three program tracks are open to businesses in Koshi. 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 MediGear provides sales materials and product support. An agent selling medical equipment in Biratnagar can reach Dharan and Itahari within an hour, while Birtamod in Jhapa lies further east. Teaching departments at BPKIHS support a hospital equipment supplier in Koshi by providing training and installation.

Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor

Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — all of Koshi, or the Terai districts around Biratnagar and Jhapa on their own. Distributors purchase products at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. This includes market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination.

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 Koshi?

The program is open to registered Nepali companies holding a PAN registration and a genuine route to healthcare buyers. 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

• Diagnostic centre, dental and NGO health program equipment suppliers

Border know-how comes first. A medical equipment supplier in Koshi that can clear goods at Biratnagar without delay wins repeat work. Public hospitals, including the provincial trauma hospital at Urlabari, publish equipment tenders on the national e-GP system.

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 and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in Koshi.

Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.

Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in Koshi

Medicines and health products are regulated by the Department of Drug Administration under the Ministry of Health and Population, covering registration, import recommendation, and licensing for parties in the chain. Application forms and current notices come from the Department of Drug Administration.

Importers generally need a valid licence and product-level import recommendation before shipping goods, and device requirements differ from those for medicines. Health policy and the wider institutional framework sit with the Ministry of Health and Population.

Customs clearance runs through the Department of Customs, where tariff classification, duty and any concessionary treatment for hospital equipment are settled. MediGear does not hold licences in this market and does not give regulatory advice.

Why Businesses in Koshi Work with MediGear

At BPKIHS, radiology and critical care keep X-ray machines, ultrasound systems and patient monitors in constant use. Private hospitals in Biratnagar and Itahari add steady orders for medical devices and supplies in Koshi.

The Biratnagar check post houses quarantine and laboratory facilities, which spares traders the journey to Kolkata for product certification testing. Kakarbhitta, on the eastern border, also has a dry port run by a private operator.

Sagarmatha National Park, home to Mount Everest and a World Heritage site since 1979, lies in the north of the province, where remote health posts depend on hardy equipment. In Biratnagar, Nobel Medical College and Birat Medical College run teaching hospitals, and a national scheme provides free treatment, keeping dialysis machines in steady use.
