Sale on Manual & Electric Hospital Beds - Starting from 25 September!
Coal mines, power plants and the Brâncuși sculptures in Târgu Jiu have made Gorj a well-known energy county in Oltenia.
Gorj fell from about 346,000 to 315,000 residents between 2011 and 2021. Hospital care centres are in Târgu Jiu, with smaller units in Motru and Târgu Cărbunești. Coal and power generation around Rovinari have long driven the economy.
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 Gorj selling into the Târgu Jiu emergency hospital, smaller units in Motru and Târgu Cărbunești, energy employers and pharmacies.
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Gorj. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
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. Rovinari lies half an hour south of Târgu Jiu, with Motru about an hour west. Energy sites require a hospital equipment supplier in Gorj that understands emergency response.
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — Târgu Jiu, the energy basin around Rovinari, or a single remit for both. 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.
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.
The program is open to companies entered in the Romanian trade register with 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
Dental, laboratory and rehabilitation equipment resellers
The energy transition brings change. Following new industrial projects can bring early orders for a medical equipment supplier in Gorj. Mining communities additionally require specialised respiratory care equipment.
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 Gorj.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
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 National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices, which covers market surveillance, vigilance, and national registration; ANMDMR publishes its guidance.
Romania has its own national rules on top of these. Firms that handle devices must register. So must firms that install or service them. Labels and user guides are expected in Romanian. The EU medical devices framework sets out the broader structure.
The Romanian Customs Authority handles entry formalities for non-union goods under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Mining health needs keep X-ray machines, patient monitors, and spirometers in demand, bought through SEAP tenders. Energy sites stock medical devices and supplies in Gorj at their own clinics.
The Brâncuși monumental ensemble in Târgu Jiu joined the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2024. Industrial redevelopment projects on former mining sites will generate additional occupational medicine requirements. Specialised mountain rescue equipment formed part of a south-west pre-hospital project co-funded by the EU. Hospital digitalisation projects financed by the PNRR also include ambulance services and public health directorates.
Coal mines and power stations maintain their own occupational medicine services. Retraining schemes for former miners are beginning to reshape local employment. Oxygen concentrators are among the home-use devices reimbursed through the county health insurance house.
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 Romanian framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and the national registration, service authorisation and language provisions administered by the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices, depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes. Partner businesses 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 counties you cover and the track that interests you. The MediGear partnerships team reviews every application and will come back to you to discuss it.
The program is open to companies entered in the Romanian trade register with a genuine route to healthcare buyers in Gorj: equipment distributors and importers, independent sales agents, online medical supply stores, biomedical engineering firms, practice fit-out companies, and dental, laboratory or rehabilitation 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 Gorj. 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 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 follow completed orders.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can 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 medical equipment distributor in Gorj has to reach both the county seat and the energy basin.
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.
Romania requires economic operators handling medical devices, and those providing installation and maintenance services, to register or hold authorisation nationally, alongside the CE marking and conformity assessment required by Regulation (EU) 2017/745. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products, so confirm your own duties with the agency.
Romanian-language labelling and instructions for use are expected for devices supplied to users, and tender documents make this a condition of award. The precise scope depends on the device, its class and its intended user, so confirm the requirement for each product before bidding.
