M/s. Gittoes Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a leading pharmaceutical importer and distributor based in Kampala, Uganda. Established in 2004 by Mr. Aziz Damani, the company was founded with the vision of providing a centralized source for essential drugs, addressing the significant shortage of pharmaceuticals in the private sector at that time. Prior to this, in 1992, Mr. Damani had set up Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Uganda's first private sector drug manufacturing facility, which was later acquired by Industrial Promotion Services in 1997. Undeterred, he resumed his commitment to enhancing healthcare by founding Gittoes Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
Headquartered at Plot No. 9, Nyondo Close, off Luthuli Avenue, Industrial Area, Bugolobi, Kampala, the company has expanded its operations to include multiple branches across Uganda. These include locations in Kampala, Arua, Lira, Mbale, Mbarara, and Jinja, facilitating widespread distribution and accessibility of pharmaceutical products. Gittoes Pharmaceuticals Ltd. plays a pivotal role in Uganda's pharmaceutical distribution network, serving a diverse clientele that encompasses government organizations, pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, wholesale and retail traders, and non-governmental organizations. The company's mission is to be the leading supplier of quality and affordable medicines and medical supplies in East and Central Africa, aiming to preserve and improve patients' health by consistently delivering high-quality, safe, and effective pharmaceutical products and services.
