Overview
Malaysia medical device industry is booming as the Malaysian government making it conducive for global players. The country greatly relies on foreign manufacturers for high-end Medical Devices. They are regulated by Malaysian Medical Device Authority (MDA) functioning under Ministry of Health Malaysia (MoHM). The Regulatory sieving begins with classification as A, B, C or D based on risk of the device followed by review by MDA authorized conformity assessment bodies (CAB). Procuring a dependable local agent with an establishment license, and maintaining post-approval activities actively are tasks that further burden manufacturers with huge investments.
