This episode of MedTech Global Insights demystifies the medical device registration timeline in the United Arab Emirates. We go beyond the official government timelines to reveal the complete, end-to-end process that MedTech companies must navigate. From mandatory preliminary steps to the final review by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), we provide a realistic forecast for market entry.

We uncover the hidden delays and common pitfalls that can derail your launch plans. This episode is essential for any regulatory affairs professional, startup founder, or international sales manager looking to expand into the lucrative UAE healthcare market.

**Case Study Highlight:** We explore the story of a European MedTech company whose plan to launch their CE-marked diagnostic device in 3 months stretched to 6. Discover the critical, non-device-related registration step they overlooked and how a simple documentation error caused weeks of delay, providing a crucial lesson for all aspiring market entrants.
