UK Pharmaceutical Supplier and Exporter to the DRC
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the largest Francophone country in Africa, with over 100 million people, vast geography and one of the world's heaviest combined disease burdens: malaria, TB, HIV, measles, recurrent cholera and Ebola response readiness. ACOREP-authorised importers, FEDECAME centrals, public hospitals and humanitarian operators in North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri all need a UK pharmaceutical supplier whose licence and medicines they can verify. Euro Biom is an MHRA-licensed UK pharmaceutical wholesaler built for the DRC's realities, supplying medicines for named-patient import, essential medicines, oncology and humanitarian stock across 21 therapeutic areas to buyers in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma and Bukavu. Euro Biom trades exclusively in UK-licensed medicines.
What Congolese Medicine Importers Need From a UK Supplier
These are real barriers facing ACOREP-authorised importers, FEDECAME centrals, Ministere de la Sante Publique programmes, hospitals and NGOs across Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma and the wider DRC right now.
ACOREP Registration Delays
Pharmaceutical regulation in the DRC is now led by the Autorite Congolaise de Reglementation Pharmaceutique (ACOREP), created in 2020 to succeed the Direction de la Pharmacie et du Medicament (DPM). Buyers should check current ACOREP requirements before applying, because an incomplete dossier can stall registration for months while letters pass back and forth.
French-Language Documentation
The DRC requires French-language documentation. CPP, GMP certificate, manufacturer authorisation and product information all need certified translation. A CPP is issued in English, so Congolese importers will need certified translation, which can slow a registration cycle.
Air Freight Into the Interior Provinces
Reaching Goma, Bukavu, Lubumbashi, Mbuji-Mayi or Kisangani means an extra leg of internal air freight from Kinshasa N'djili. Onward legs from Kinshasa are normally arranged by the buyer or a carrier. NGO and Ministere de la Sante Publique programmes lose days to internal logistics nobody planned for.
Cold Chain Failure Over Long Distances
From our UK contract GDP site to Kinshasa, then onward into Goma or Lubumbashi, temperature-sensitive UK-licensed medicines face many handoffs. Tropical heat, humidity and customs delays compound risk. Without proper data loggers and validated packaging you arrive with unusable stock and no proof of where the cold chain broke.
Counterfeit and Falsified Medicine Vigilance
Falsified medicine penetration in the DRC is a constant concern. Importers and humanitarian operators face risk when sourcing through unverified intermediaries and informal traders. Importers should verify any supplier on the MHRA register and require chain-of-custody documents they can show ACOREP, donors or Global Fund auditors.
USD and CDF Pricing
The DRC operates in parallel currencies, with USD widely used alongside the Congolese Franc (CDF). Payment terms are agreed before shipment, subject to UK sanctions rules and banking checks.
An MHRA-Licensed UK Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Built for the DRC
We started Euro Biom because we saw Congolese hospitals, ACOREP-authorised importers and humanitarian operators struggling to find a UK pharmaceutical supplier they could actually trust. Not a broker, not a middleman, but a real MHRA-licensed wholesale exporter who supplies UK export documents to support the buyer's ACOREP application, can arrange certified French translation through a translation provider, arranges temperature-controlled shipping to Kinshasa N'djili with specialist carriers, and responds the same working day to every enquiry from the DRC.

You can verify our credentials on the MHRA public register today. Buyers can verify where medicines come from through our chain-of-custody documentation.
Our team responds the same working day to every medicine import enquiry from the DRC. We confirm availability, USD pricing and an export timeline estimate, and which documents are available for each line. Onward transport beyond Kinshasa N'djili is arranged by the buyer or its carrier.
