UK Pharmaceutical Supplier and Exporter to Lebanon
Lebanon's pharmaceutical sector has been operating in crisis mode since 2019. Hyperinflation, the banking collapse, foreign currency scarcity and the residual disruption from the 2020 Beirut port blast have left importers, hospitals and patients facing chronic shortages of oncology drugs, paediatric formulations, cardiovascular generics and basic chronic disease medicines. Euro Biom is an MHRA-licensed UK pharmaceutical wholesaler that trades exclusively in UK-licensed medicines. We can supply MoPH-licensed importers, Beirut's hospitals, private hospital groups and humanitarian agencies, subject to UK sanctions rules and banking checks.
Why Lebanese Importers and Hospitals Struggle to Source UK Medicines
These are the daily realities facing MoPH-licensed importers, hospital procurement teams in Beirut and Tripoli, and humanitarian agencies operating across Lebanon today.
Chronic Shortages of Oncology and Cardiovascular Drugs
Subsidy lifts and supply collapses since 2019 have left Beirut's hospitals scrambling for cancer therapies, anticoagulants, beta-blockers and statins. Patients abandon treatment. Distributors have no stable inventory.
Banking Crisis Blocks Routine Letters of Credit
Lebanese banks have severely restricted USD letters of credit since 2019. Importers face delays opening LCs, suspended correspondent relationships and dual-currency pricing chaos between USD and LBP. Routine procurement that worked before now stalls for months.
Paediatric and Specialty Formulations Unavailable
Paediatric oncology, rare disease treatments, neonatal formulations and specialist medicines rarely make it onto distributor shelves. Beirut's paediatric wards and specialist clinics need named-patient import routes that local distributors cannot fulfil.
Beirut Port Operations Still Not Fully Recovered
Following the August 2020 blast, Beirut port capacity, infrastructure and customs flow have been rebuilt but remain constrained. Importers route around bottlenecks, and incomplete documentation triggers prolonged customs holds with serious cold chain consequences.
Cold Chain Fails in Lebanese Summer Heat
Beirut summers regularly exceed 35 degrees Celsius with high humidity. Temperature-sensitive UK-licensed medicines without active or qualified passive cold chain arrive degraded. Power cuts compound the problem at warehouse and pharmacy level. Documentation gaps make claims impossible.
Verify Who You Buy From
The shortage crisis has attracted intermediaries with no traceable licence, no chain of custody and no recourse if a batch is suspect. Importers want a publicly verifiable UK source. Counterfeit risk rises with every uncontrolled link.
An MHRA-Licensed UK Pharmaceutical Wholesaler for Lebanese Buyers
Euro Biom was set up to give buyers in markets like Lebanon a UK supply route that is publicly verifiable, regulator-supervised and built around real shortage scenarios. We are not a broker or an undeclared intermediary. We hold MHRA Wholesale Dealer Authorisation WDA(H) 59239, our Site Reference 37434242 is on the public MHRA register, and shipments are supplied from a GDP-compliant contract storage site.
For Lebanon specifically, our service is built around what MoPH-licensed importers, hospital procurement teams and NGOs typically need: UK-licensed oncology medicines for the buyer's named patient route, UK-licensed shortage lines for cardiovascular and chronic disease, 2-8°C shipping arranged with specialist carriers, and payment terms agreed before shipment, subject to UK sanctions rules and banking checks.
We respond the same working day to enquiries from Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon and the Bekaa, with availability, USD pricing, lead time and the documentation available for MoPH import authorisation. For urgent cases, typical dispatch is within 24 to 72 hours of order confirmation, subject to availability, with air freight arranged to Rafic Hariri International Airport. If you are running a humanitarian programme, we can adapt the documentation and consolidation to suit grant-funded procurement.
Discuss Your RequirementsWhat Lebanese Buyers Get from Euro Biom
A verifiable UK source, a documentation pack to support Beirut customs clearance, and a team that gives a same-day response.
Independently Verifiable on the MHRA Public Register
WDA(H) 59239 and Site Reference 37434242 are on the MHRA database. Your compliance team can confirm us before our first invoice. No claims, no PDFs we control, just the regulator's own record.
Sourcing Through the UK Licensed Supply Chain
Every batch comes through the UK licensed supply chain with chain of custody. No unexplained relabelling. Counterfeit exposure minimised through verified UK-licensed sourcing and chain of custody.
UK Export Documents for Your MoPH Application
CPP, CFS, GMP certificates, batch records and temperature records are obtained from the issuing authority or manufacturer where available and provided before dispatch, not after Beirut customs flags a gap, with a Certificate of Analysis where the manufacturer makes one available.
Air Freight Heathrow to Beirut When Speed Matters
Air freight into Rafic Hariri International Airport. Transit times depend on carrier routing and customs clearance; we confirm an estimate with each quote. Sea freight available where lead times allow and cost matters more than urgency.
2-8°C Shipping for Levantine Summer Conditions
2-8°C packaging with temperature data loggers on temperature-sensitive shipments, GDP documentation throughout. Temperature-sensitive UK-licensed medicines ship with temperature monitoring.
Payment Terms Agreed Before Shipment
USD-denominated invoicing, payment terms discussed case by case before shipment. Each enquiry is reviewed against UK sanctions rules and banking checks before terms are agreed.
NGO and Humanitarian Procurement Support
We support international NGOs and UN agencies operating across Lebanon, including programmes serving Syrian refugee populations. Documentation to support tender submissions, consolidated shipments and itemised invoicing.
4,700+ Products Across 21 Therapeutic Areas
From oncology and specialty medicines to paediatrics, antibiotics, cardiovascular and CNS, sourced through the UK licensed supply chain. The categories Lebanese hospitals struggle to find locally are central to our catalogue.
Pharmaceutical Export Services for Lebanese Hospitals and Importers
Built around shortage response, named-patient import access, hospital procurement and NGO supply.
Named Patient Medicine Supply
An oncology consultant at a Beirut hospital needs an oral targeted therapy unavailable on the Lebanese market. A paediatric haematologist needs a UK-licensed medicine that is not registered locally. We source through the UK licensed supply chain, supply the UK export documents the buyer needs for their own MoPH import application, and ship to Beirut. Same-day acknowledgement, with export documents supplied alongside the order.
- Patient-specific UK-licensed oncology sourcing
- UK export documents to support the buyer's named patient application
- MoPH import authorisation documentation
- Paediatric, locally unregistered and specialist formulations
Shortage and Crisis Supply
Cardiovascular generics, antibiotics or chronic disease medicines disappear from Lebanese distributor inventory. Patients face interrupted treatment. We confirm availability, supply export documentation with batch records where available, and arrange air freight to Rafic Hariri International Airport, with typical dispatch within 24 to 72 hours of order confirmation, subject to availability.
- Same-day response on shortage enquiries
- Typical dispatch within 24 to 72 hours of order confirmation
- Other UK-licensed lines quoted where the buyer's prescriber requests an alternative

Hospital and Private Group Tender Supply
Private hospital groups across Beirut and Mount Lebanon, university hospitals and hospital networks across Lebanon need tender-grade documentation, institutional pricing and consistent supply windows. We can supply documents for buyers' tender submissions and quote against published criteria.
- Hospital and group procurement support
- UK export documents available for tender submissions
- Institutional pricing and structured payment terms
- Repeat orders supported for chronic medicines
NGO, Humanitarian and Wholesale Export
International NGOs and UN agencies serving Lebanese and refugee populations need consolidated, grant-compliant pharmaceutical supply. MoPH-licensed wholesalers want predictable bulk orders for routine inventory. We can quote for both, subject to UK sanctions rules and banking checks.
- Invoicing discussed for grant-funded procurement
- Consolidated humanitarian shipments
- 4,700+ products across 21 therapeutic areas
