As a company with cutting-edge solutions, such as non-invasive diagnostics, Fibronostics required a strategic partner to support its expansion into Malaysia, an emerging market with high potential in the healthcare sector.
Background and Challenges
Fibronostics faced significant business challenges in entering the Malaysian market:
- Complex Regulatory Environment: Fibronostics needed to obtain the necessary product registrations with Malaysia’s Medical Device Authority (MDA) to bring its diagnostic solutions to market. Navigating the local regulatory landscape presented a major hurdle.

- Efficient Market Entry: Ensuring timely approval for their products was vital to avoid delays in market entry.

Fibronostics selected Andaman Medical as its independent licence holder in Malaysia to manage the registration process for its products with the MDA. Several factors influenced this decision:
