Healthcare & Medical Devices

Market access, distribution strategy, and partnership structuring for medical-device manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare providers.

Why it matters

Healthcare across the Gulf and Egypt is being restructured. Saudi Arabia is transforming its health sector under Vision 2030, with more private provision and more centralized purchasing, and Egypt is reorganizing procurement and expanding insurance coverage. For device makers and distributors, this means tender-led buying, tighter registration and pricing scrutiny, longer payment cycles and principals asking harder questions about distributor performance. For providers, it means competing on quality and cost while scaling clinical and commercial teams.

Our expertise

Much of our healthcare work is about people and performance in distribution and commercial organizations. We run psychometric and leadership assessments, team assessments and development plans, and company-wide training programs built on a training needs analysis and evaluated against on-the-job behavior. Alongside this we deliver gap assessments for healthcare solutions providers, regional optimization work for device manufacturers, country growth plans covering portfolio, sales, inventory and procurement, and the financial models and growth plans that support them, including for digital marketplaces serving clinics.

  1. Saudi health sector transformation expanding private provision and centralized purchasing
  2. Tender-led procurement compressing margins for device and pharma distributors
  3. Principals tightening performance expectations on regional distributors
  4. Longer receivable cycles straining distributor working capital and inventory
  5. Commercial and clinical teams needing new skills as portfolios grow
  6. Digital channels emerging for clinic and dental supply purchasing

Questions we help answer.

  1. 01Do we have the right people in our commercial and leadership roles for the next phase of growth?
  2. 02How does our distribution business compare with what our principals expect, and where are the gaps?
  3. 03Which products, accounts and territories should our country growth plan prioritize?
  4. 04How much inventory and working capital does our plan really need, and how do we fund it?
  5. 05Which training will change how our teams sell and serve, and how will we know it worked?
