A practical, full-day symposium for anyone serious about entering Uganda's pharmaceutical importation business. We cover the regulatory walls, the financing tools nobody explains, and where to actually put your first capital.
RESERVE A SEAT
Cohorts run when enough investors and importers are ready. Tell us where you are in the journey and we'll keep you informed.
Bringing a team? Request in-house delivery →THE AGENDA
The actual reasons consignments get held at URA — documentation gaps, classification errors, compliance flags — and the working knowledge to clear them faster. We walk through real cases.
Realistic timelines for product registration with the National Drug Authority, what slows the process down, and how to plan your importation calendar around it.
Local Purchase Order financing explained for people who didn't go to business school. When it makes sense, when it doesn't, and how to structure deals so the math works in your favor.
You have capital — where does it actually go? Open your own outlet, partner with existing wholesalers, build a niche import line. Tradeoffs, risks, and what we'd advise based on your starting position.
The on-the-ground picture: margins, supplier relationships, distribution to retail pharmacies, common business models, and where the real money is made.
AUDIENCE
Manufacturers and traders considering Uganda as an entry market who need to understand local regulations and partnerships.
Ugandan founders with capital and ambition but unsure how to navigate URA, NDA, and the financing ecosystem.
Retail or wholesale operators ready to move upstream into direct importation rather than buying through middlemen.
CEOs and operations leads of multi-branch pharmacies considering vertical integration into the supply chain.
FROM PAST ATTENDEES
