Pharmaceutical Supplier from Pakistan to Kenya
Kenya is the gateway to East Africa: what is registered and stocked in Nairobi and Mombasa moves on to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and South Sudan. Paradise Pharma supplies Kenyan importers and wholesalers with DRAP-registered oral liquids, antiseptics, ORS and suppositories made under ISO 9001 and HACCP in Lahore. We are looking for one Kenyan import partner to hold the registrations and distribute across Kenya and, if they wish, the wider East African Community.
Registering with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board
Medicines are registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) through a Local Technical Representative, a Kenyan pharmaceutical company that holds the registration. The PPB evaluates a dossier in the common technical document format, requires GMP compliance of the foreign manufacturing site and may inspect it. We prepare the CTD dossier, provide the CoPP and GMP certificate, supply stability data for zone IVb and host the PPB inspection at our plant, working alongside your representative until the certificate is issued.
Shipping from Karachi to Mombasa
Karachi to Mombasa is one of the shortest sea routes in our export programme, usually two to three weeks port to port. Documents travel ahead of the vessel so your clearing agent can lodge the entry with the Kenya Revenue Authority and the PPB port office before arrival. Samples and small hospital orders go by air to Nairobi.
Products that sell in Kenya
Kenyan chemists and county hospitals move paediatric paracetamol and ibuprofen suspensions, ORS sachets, povidone iodine scrub and solution, hydrogen peroxide and glycerin suppositories. English artwork is standard; Swahili patient information can be added to leaflets on request.
Documents we provide
Certificate of Analysis for every batch, Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product and Free Sale Certificate through DRAP, our DRAP licence and ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 and HACCP certificates, a CTD dossier with zone IVb stability data, samples, and the invoice, packing list and Certificate of Origin for customs. See the full list on the export page.
Questions from Kenya buyers
Do you sell to Kenyan hospitals directly?
Through your registered importer. Kenyan law requires the licence holder to import; we supply that company and support the hospital tender documents.
Is the ORS the WHO low-osmolarity formula?
Yes. Our ORS sachet follows the WHO/UNICEF low-osmolarity formulation and the CoA for each batch states the assay results.

We are looking for an import partner in Kenya
Our products are registered in Pakistan only. In each country we want one partner who registers them in their own name, with our complete file, and distributes them exclusively. Here is what that partner receives, and who we are looking for.
One partner per country for the products they register; we do not sell the same products to a second importer in your territory while the agreement runs.
CTD dossier, CoPP and Free Sale Certificate through DRAP, GMP and ISO certificates, zone IVb stability data and samples - prepared by us, submitted in your name.
When your regulator inspects the foreign manufacturer, we host the visit at our Lahore plant and answer every query.
You buy from the manufacturer, not through a trader. Private label with your own brand is available for volume lines.
Product artwork, leaflets and technical data sheets in English, Arabic or French, and a named contact at the plant who answers within one business day.
Who we are looking for
- A licensed pharmaceutical importer, wholesaler or scientific bureau registered with your country's regulator.
- Able to hold the product registrations in your company's name and act as the local representative.
- Selling to pharmacies, hospitals, NGOs or public tenders, with your own warehouse and distribution.
- Ready to start with a registration project for two to five products and a first mixed-container order after approval.
