Regulatory Compliance
DGDA Registration & Medical Device Compliance in Bangladesh
The Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA) regulates medical devices sold in Bangladesh. Every regulated product must be DGDA registered before it can be legally sold. MediportBD is a DGDA-registered importer supplying only CE-certified, manufacturer-authorised medical equipment — with registration certificates available to any buyer on request.
What is the DGDA and why does registration matter?
The Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is the national authority responsible for regulating medical devices in Bangladesh. Under the Drug Control Ordinance and subsequent circulars, medical devices — from blood pressure monitors and ECG machines to laboratory reagents and surgical instruments — must be registered with DGDA before importation and sale.
For hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres, buying from a DGDA-registered supplier is not just good practice — it protects you from counterfeit products, regulatory liability, invalid warranties and potential patient harm. Always ask for the DGDA registration certificate before purchasing regulated devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DGDA registration for medical devices in Bangladesh?
DGDA (Directorate General of Drug Administration) registration is mandatory for medical devices imported and sold in Bangladesh. Importers must register each regulated product with DGDA before selling. Without a valid DGDA certificate, a medical device cannot be legally sold in Bangladesh.
How do I verify a medical device is DGDA registered in Bangladesh?
Ask your supplier for the DGDA registration certificate for the specific product. The certificate shows the registration number, product name, manufacturer, and validity period. MediportBD provides DGDA registration documents for all regulated products on request.
What is CE certification for medical devices?
CE marking confirms that a medical device meets European Union safety, health and environmental protection standards. In Bangladesh, CE certification is used alongside DGDA registration as a quality signal. MediportBD only supplies CE-certified products.
What happens if I buy non-DGDA-registered medical equipment in Bangladesh?
Purchasing from an unregistered source can expose your hospital or clinic to regulatory liability, equipment seizure by authorities, invalid warranty, and risk of counterfeit or substandard products that can harm patients.
Does MediportBD hold DGDA registration for all its products?
Yes. Every regulated medical device sold by MediportBD carries a valid DGDA registration certificate. We can supply certificate copies to institutional buyers and procurement officers on request — typically within one business day.
