Local Technical Representative (LTR) Services Across Africa

Jeyflex Consultants Ltd is a trusted partner in Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance and Quality Assurance across Africa. We support global companies to enter and operate in African markets with full regulatory compliance.
As your Local Technical Representative (LTR), we act as your legal and regulatory liaison with National Medicines Regulatory Authorities (NMRAs), ensuring your products are registered, monitored for safety, and compliant throughout their lifecycle.

What is a Local Technical Representative (LTR)?

A Local Technical Representative (also known as Local Agent or Local Representative) is a person or company appointed by the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) to act as the official liaison between the MAH and local health authorities. The role of an LTR is critical in ensuring that medicinal products comply with the regulatory standards of the country in which they are marketed.

In many African nations, it is a legal requirement for the LTR to be a certified pharmacist, ensuring that the representative has the expertise to handle all regulatory and compliance issues effectively.

Making the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) process easy

A Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) is responsible for ensuring the quality, safety, and availability of a product. This role carries serious regulatory responsibility, especially when entering new countries with different laws and requirements.

Jeyflex supports MAHs by helping them understand local requirements and register products on local portals, and we can also act as a MAH’s representative (LTR).

Every Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) must appoint a locally based representative who:

Serves as the official contact with the Health Authority
Submits and manages product registration applications
Ensures product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance
Coordinates pharmacovigilance and safety reporting
Maintains updated product documentation and licenses

Why You Need an LTR in Africa

Expanding into African markets can be complex. Setting up a local company, hiring staff, and handling regulations can take 2–3 years before your first sale.
Outsourcing your LTR role to Jeyflex removes barriers, reduces cost, and speeds up market entry without establishing a legal entity immediately.
