Iraq Pharmaceutical Supply

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 Technical Department, 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 built for Iraqi realities, supplying named patient medicines, oncology biologics, shortage lines and Kimadia tender stock to hospitals and importers across Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

The Reality

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. Most overseas suppliers cannot assemble this on Iraqi MoH timelines.

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 Biologics for New Cancer Centres Are Hard to Source

Baghdad Medical City, the Basra cancer centre and Erbil oncology services need targeted therapies, monoclonal antibodies and supportive cancer medicines. Many are not registered locally and need named patient or special access supply with full UK GMP traceability.

Cold Chain Through 50-Degree Summers Breaks Routinely

Baghdad, Basra and Najaf summers regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Without qualified packaging, multiple data loggers and direct air freight into Baghdad International Airport or Erbil International Airport, biologics, vaccines and insulins 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. UK suppliers unfamiliar with Iraqi banking and customs lose weeks on every shipment.

Why We Exist

An MHRA-Licensed UK Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Built for Iraq

Euro Biom started because Iraqi hospitals, Kimadia tender bidders, KRG health authorities and licensed private importers told us the same thing: most UK suppliers do not understand Iraq. They cannot prepare manufacturer affidavits to MoH Technical Department format. They do not know that Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Duhok register medicines through the Kurdistan Regional Government, not Baghdad. They cannot ship cold chain into Basra in July without breaking it. And they cannot keep up with Kimadia tender deadlines.

Every medicine we export to Iraq leaves the UK under our MHRA Wholesale Dealer Authorisation WDA(H) 59239. We are personally responsible for every product, every batch, every shipment. There are no broker layers, no resold pallets, no opaque sourcing. Kimadia procurement officers, the Ibn Sina Training Hospital pharmacy, Baghdad Medical City oncology unit and KRG hospital directors can verify our credentials directly on the MHRA public register before a single carton leaves our warehouse.

Our team responds the same working day to every Iraqi enquiry. We confirm stock, 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 provide manufacturer affidavits, price certificates, CPP and stability data on Iraqi MoH timelines. If you are supplying the Erbil Teaching Hospital or Sulaymaniyah oncology service, we tailor the dossier to the KRG registration track. If you need cold chain into Basra Teaching Hospital in summer, we ship in qualified packaging with multiple data loggers and direct air freight, not sea containers sitting at Umm Qasr.

Real scenarios from Iraqi healthcare. Each service is built around what actually happens when you are responsible for medicine access across Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

Service 01

Kimadia Tender and Public Sector Supply

Kimadia, the State Company for Marketing Drugs and Medical Appliances, runs central procurement for Iraq's public hospitals. Tender bids stand or fall on documentation completeness.

"For Kimadia tenders, the dossier is everything. Euro Biom assembled the manufacturer affidavits, MHRA CPP, GMP and price certificates correctly the first time. Our submission to the MoH Technical Department was complete, and that alone moved the bid forward."

Senior Procurement Officer
Kimadia Tender Bidder, Baghdad

"Our oncology service needed a targeted therapy that simply was not on the local market. Euro Biom sourced it from the UK manufacturer, prepared the named patient documentation, and the cold chain held all the way to Baghdad. The data logger report was clean. That mattered."

Lead Oncology Pharmacist
Baghdad Medical City

"Many UK suppliers do not understand the KRG registration track. Euro Biom did. They tailored the dossier to the Kurdistan Regional Government MoH, shipped direct to Erbil International Airport, and the consignment cleared with no surprises. Finally a UK partner who reads Iraq accurately."

Questions

Questions About Importing Medicines from the UK to Iraq

Common questions from Kimadia tender bidders, MoH Technical Department reviewers, KRG hospitals, private hospital pharmacists and licensed importers.

Can Euro Biom supply medicines to Iraq?
Yes. Euro Biom holds MHRA Wholesale Dealer Authorisation WDA(H) 59239, which permits export of pharmaceutical products to Kimadia, the Iraqi Ministry of Health, KRG health bodies, licensed importers and hospitals across Iraq. Every shipment is accompanied by Iraqi MoH-aligned documentation including CPP, GMP, manufacturer affidavits, price certificates and Arabic artwork support.
What documentation does Kimadia require for UK imports?
Kimadia and the MoH Technical Department typically require an MHRA-issued Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP), manufacturer GMP certificate, Free Sale Certificate, batch Certificate of Analysis, manufacturer affidavit, price certificate, stability data, samples and Arabic packaging artwork. Euro Biom prepares the full pack from day one for every Kimadia tender or direct MoH supply order.
Do you supply both Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region?
Yes. We supply Federal Iraq through Kimadia, the Baghdad MoH and licensed importers, and the Kurdistan Region through the KRG Ministry of Health, hospitals in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Duhok, and Kurdistan-licensed distributors. We tailor the dossier to whichever authority is approving the import.
Can you supply oncology medicines for Iraqi cancer centres?
Yes. Oncology supply is one of our core service lines. We supply targeted therapies, biologics, chemotherapy injectables and supportive cancer medicines to Baghdad Medical City, the Basra cancer centre, Erbil oncology services and other public and private cancer programmes. Each consignment ships with full cold chain monitoring, batch CoA and CPP documentation.
How do you manage cold chain into Baghdad and Basra summers?
Iraqi summers regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Every temperature-sensitive product ships in qualified cold chain packaging with multiple electronic temperature data loggers, GDP-validated couriers and direct air freight into Baghdad International Airport, Erbil International Airport or Basra International Airport. The data logger report is issued at delivery so customs and your QP can verify temperature integrity.
What about counterfeit and parallel-trade risk?
Iraqi importers face significant counterfeit exposure when buying through unverified intermediaries. Euro Biom is MHRA-licensed and publicly listed on the MHRA register. WDA(H) 59239 and MHRA Site Reference 37434242 are searchable. Every product is sourced directly from UK GMP manufacturers under our wholesale dealer responsibility, with serialised batch records and direct chain of custody.
How do payment and currency terms work for Iraqi buyers?
We work in Iraqi Dinar and US Dollar invoicing depending on the buyer. Public sector orders through Kimadia and the KRG MoH typically follow tender payment terms. Private hospitals and importers use letters of credit, telegraphic transfer or pre-agreed credit terms based on volume and history. We discuss commercial terms transparently before any shipment leaves the UK.
