UK Pharmaceutical Supplier and Exporter to Iraq
Iraq's healthcare system is rebuilding at pace. Kimadia tenders are being relaunched, oncology centres in Baghdad and Erbil are being modernised, and the private hospital sector in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah is expanding rapidly. But importing UK medicines into Iraq remains uniquely complex. The MoH Directorate of Technical Affairs, the Kurdistan Regional Government parallel registration track, manufacturer affidavits, Arabic labelling, price certificates and 50-degree summer cold chain all have to be handled correctly the first time. Euro Biom is an MHRA-licensed UK pharmaceutical wholesaler that trades exclusively in UK-licensed medicines, built for Iraqi realities, supplying named-patient import medicines, specialty oncology, shortage lines and Kimadia tender supply to hospitals and importers across Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
Why Iraqi Hospitals and Importers Struggle to Source UK Medicines
These are the real barriers facing Kimadia procurement officers, MoH Technical Department reviewers, KRG hospital directors, private hospital pharmacists and licensed importers in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Mosul right now.
Kimadia Tender Documentation Is Unforgiving
Kimadia tenders demand a complete pack: CPP, manufacturer GMP, Free Sale, manufacturer affidavit, price certificate, samples, stability data, Arabic artwork. One missing certificate disqualifies the bid, so the pack must be complete before submission.
Federal and KRG Run Two Separate Registration Tracks
The Iraqi MoH in Baghdad and the KRG Ministry of Health in Erbil maintain parallel approval systems. A product approved in Baghdad is not automatically cleared in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah or Duhok. UK suppliers who treat Iraq as one market lose contracts in the Kurdistan Region.
Oncology Medicines for New Cancer Centres Are Hard to Source
Cancer centres in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil need oral targeted therapies and supportive cancer medicines. Many are not registered locally and need named-patient import or special access supply with full UK-licensed traceability.
Cold Chain Is at Risk in 50-Degree Summers
Baghdad, Basra and Najaf summers regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Without qualified packaging, multiple data loggers and air freight into Baghdad International Airport or Erbil International Airport, temperature-sensitive UK-licensed medicines arrive degraded and unusable.
Counterfeit and Parallel-Trade Risk Remains High
Iraqi importers report repeated exposure to falsified medicines routed through unregulated intermediaries. Without a verifiable MHRA-licensed counterparty, every consignment carries quality and reputational risk for the importer, the hospital and the prescribing physician.
Currency, Payment and Customs Friction Slow Every Order
Iraqi Dinar payment terms, letters of credit, and customs documentation at Baghdad, Erbil, Basra and Umm Qasr need to be aligned with the medicine import licence. Unfamiliarity with Iraqi banking and customs can cost weeks on a shipment.
An MHRA-Licensed UK Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Built for Iraq
Euro Biom supplies UK-licensed medicines to Iraqi hospitals, Kimadia tender bidders, KRG health authorities and licensed private importers. Iraq has its own requirements: Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Duhok register medicines through the Kurdistan Regional Government, not Baghdad, and Kimadia tender deadlines are strict.
Every medicine we export to Iraq leaves the UK under our MHRA Wholesale Dealer Authorisation WDA(H) 59239. Every medicine we export leaves the UK under our wholesale dealer authorisation, sourced through the UK licensed supply chain. Kimadia procurement officers, hospital pharmacy teams, oncology units and KRG hospital directors can verify our credentials directly on the MHRA public register before a single carton is released for export.
Our team responds the same working day to every Iraqi enquiry. We confirm availability, pricing, lead time and the exact documentation pack the MoH Technical Department or KRG Ministry will need. If you are bidding on a Kimadia tender, we confirm which manufacturer-issued documents are available for each line, such as affidavits, price certificates, CPP and stability data. If you are supplying the Erbil Teaching Hospital or Sulaymaniyah oncology service, we confirm which UK export documents are available to support the buyer's KRG application. If you need cold chain into Basra Teaching Hospital in summer, we ship 2-8°C medicines from our contract storage site in temperature-controlled packaging with a data logger, arranged with specialist carriers for air freight.
