Partner with MediGear in North Al Sharqiyah
Governed from Ibra, North Al Sharqiyah also includes Al Mudhaibi, Bidiyah, Al Qabil, Wadi Bani Khalid and Dima Wa Al Taiyeen. Opened in 2005, Ibra Hospital is an autonomous regional referral hospital with 191 beds, providing primary, secondary and partial tertiary care. Bidiya Hospital serves the communities bordering the Sharqiyah Sands, and a new hospital at Al Nama is scheduled to open in the coming phase. Al Mudhaibi Industrial City is being developed to support logistics, agriculture and related industries.
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 North Al Sharqiyah selling into Ibra Hospital and Bidiya Hospital, wilayat health centres, private clinics, diagnostic laboratories and dental practices.
Partnership Opportunities for Businesses in North Al Sharqiyah
Three program tracks are open to businesses in North Al Sharqiyah. 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. Between them, Ibra and Al Mudhaibi account for most private purchasing. Established relationships with the referral hospital help a hospital equipment supplier in North Al Sharqiyah secure repeat orders.
Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — North Al Sharqiyah alone, or a Sharqiyah grouping that joins both governorates. 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 North Al Sharqiyah?
The program is open to businesses holding an Omani commercial registration and with a genuine route to healthcare buyers in North Al Sharqiyah. Applications commonly come from:

What matters most is a documented record with the regional hospital. Having served Ibra Hospital before gives a medical equipment supplier in North Al Sharqiyah insight into its tender cycle. Dental equipment suppliers in Ibra qualify for the reseller track.
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 North Al Sharqiyah.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in North Al Sharqiyah
The Ministry of Health regulates medical devices, has published guidance, and operates an electronic registration portal with phased deadlines by device class. The Ministry of Health publishes current requirements and notices.
A locally registered importer or authorised representative files the registration, and approvals held with recognised reference regulators are commonly used to support a submission. Because the framework was introduced in stages, the applicable deadline depends on the device class. The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion handles trade licensing and conformity matters.
The Directorate General of Customs administers duty and entry formalities, applying the Gulf common customs tariff alongside health checks at entry. MediGear is not the registration holder for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Disclaimer
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 Omani framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements administered by the Ministry of Health depend on the device, its classification, its intended purpose and the registered importer or representative filing the application, and the framework has been introduced in phases. Partner businesses remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
The program is open to businesses with an Omani commercial registration and a genuine route to healthcare buyers in North Al Sharqiyah: equipment distributors and importers, independent sales agents, online medical supply stores, biomedical engineering firms, healthcare project companies, and polyclinic, dental, or laboratory 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 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 North Al Sharqiyah. No registration charges, subscriptions, or upfront payments are required to become an agent, distributor, 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, they earn only on completed orders.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, assessed case by case. We also offer non-exclusive distribution, which is more common for partners entering a new category. Most territories are defined by product category, and a medical equipment distributor in North Al Sharqiyah often covers South Al Sharqiyah as well.
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.
As a general rule, yes. Devices are registered with the Ministry of Health through its electronic portal, with a locally registered importer or authorised representative filing the application. Because the framework has been introduced in phases, the applicable deadline depends on the device class. MediGear is not the registration holder for partner products, so confirm your position with the ministry.
Not on its own. Approvals from recognised reference regulators are commonly relied on to support an Omani submission and can shorten review, but national registration remains a separate requirement. Confirm the current position and the deadline applying to each device class before quoting.
