NomrachiSmart Academy Ltd.

Healthcare and medical equipment

Nigeria needs reliable medical equipment at scale, and imports meet almost all of it. We help international manufacturers assess and enter the market through a local partner that prepares the ground.

Reliable diagnostic, treatment and monitoring equipment supports earlier diagnosis and better care for patients and clinicians. Manufacturers who supply, assemble, service and train locally can serve a market that depends heavily on imports. The US International Trade Administration advises that working with a local company is the best route to market in Nigeria.

What Nomrachi does

Local market-entry partner

Preparing the ground in Nigeria: partners, sites and local coordination for manufacturers and distributors.

Regulatory pathway

Guidance on the route to product registration with NAFDAC, which is required before medical devices can be imported.

Service and training

Introductions to distribution and service partners, and technician training through Nomrachi Smart Academy programmes.

Funding routes

Introductions to development finance institutions, export credit agencies and commercial lenders, with international financing advisory led by Champlain Consulting Associates.

Establishing a Nigerian presence

For international companies setting up in Nigeria, we introduce local legal counsel, accountants and regulated banks. Account opening and credit decisions remain with each institution, under its own due diligence and regulatory requirements.

Policy incentives for local healthcare manufacturing exist and change over time; confirm current terms before relying on them. All opportunities are subject to regulatory approvals, feasibility studies and written agreements. No outcome is guaranteed.
