The Israeli medical device market is one of the largest in the Middle East. Marketing your medical device in Israel requires registration with AMAR – the Medical Device Division in the Israeli Ministry of Health. This regulatory body is in charge with registering medical devices, granting various import permits for medical devices, and monitoring the marketing of medical devices in Israel.
AMAR registration requires prior approval for your medical device in one of the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) founding countries, such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia or Japan. For manufacturers having already obtained approval for their devices in one of these markets (particularly in Europe and the US), registration will be almost automatic.
