How Could I Obtain Faster Market Access?

Singapore is known as medical and healthcare-hub in ASEAN as the country draws approximately 500,000 patients each year. Offering Asia's best healthcare system, Singapore is a promising and well-known market for medical devices. It's good news that HSA offers several faster access routes with shortened timelines, enabling foreign manufacturers to have immediate and faster market access. 

HSA allows several evaluation routes with shortened timelines enabling faster market access, such as immediate, expedited, and abridged route. These routes apply to medical devices that have been evaluated and have obtained marketing clearances or approvals in at least one of the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) founding members (Australia, Canada, European Union, Japan and United States of America). 

Consult with our regulatory expert to know if your device is eligible for any faster route. 

In June 2023, HSA proudly announce that they are acknowledged by WHO as a Stringent Regulatory Authority for high-risk IVD devices. This is good news for global manufacturers, as this status means obtaining approval from HSA will result the product to be applicable to gain expedited listing under the WHO prequalification programme. With note that major international purchasers, e.g., the United Nations agencies rely on this listing.
