Dear Sushma,
According to my research only implantable devices are required to be registered in Lebanon. This information was correct as of January 2024.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY: The two bodies regulating medical device registration in Lebanon are The Drug Import and Export Department and The Sanitary Engineering Service, which both act under the Ministry of Public Health.
LICENSE VALIDITY: The registration process is an import permit and must be performed with every shipment.
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE: The local importer will be considered the authorized representative for the foreign manufacturer.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Currently, only implantable devices are required to be registered.
Regards,
