About this listen

In this episode, we dissect the sudden and mandatory shift by Saudi Arabia's SFDA to its new GHAD digital platform. This move has created significant operational challenges for international MedTech companies, freezing submissions and jeopardizing market access for those with unprepared local representatives. We explore the immediate consequences and the long-term strategic implications of this digital-first regulatory enforcement. This isn't a theoretical problem. Consider a real-world scenario where a leading European diagnostics company, which has operated in the Kingdom for years, suddenly has its new product launch pipeline frozen. Their chosen local representative, a large logistics partner, lacks the regulatory expertise to manage the new GHAD system, turning a routine submission into a major business crisis and threatening to concede a multi-million dollar contract to a more compliant competitor. Key questions answered in this episode: - What is the SFDA's new GHAD platform and why was its launch so disruptive? - Why are traditional distributor-as-representative models failing under the new digital rules? - What are the three critical capabilities your Saudi authorized representative must have now? - How does this regulatory shift connect to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals? - What are the immediate steps to take if your product submissions are currently stalled? - Could this digital-first enforcement model be adopted by the UAE next? - What are the hidden costs of choosing the wrong local partner in this new environment? Navigating complex regulatory shifts in the MENA region requires specialized, on-the-ground expertise. Pure Global offers end-to-end regulatory consulting, acting as your local, digitally proficient representative to ensure seamless market access and compliance.
