With our headquarters in Cape Town and a centralised distribution facility strategically located in Gauteng, Umsebe is opportunely positioned in the gateway to Africa.
We are proud to be licensed by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), the National Department of Health (NDoH), and the South African Pharmacy Council. Additionally, Umsebe Healthcare holds a Level 1 Contributor status in terms of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), ensuring our commitment to preferential procurement for both private and public sectors.
Join us as we continue to innovate, striving to make a meaningful impact on healthcare delivery and ensuring no patient is left behind in their journey towards better health.
Drawing on over 15 years of regulatory and quality consulting expertise, our start-up was founded to address unmet medical needs, leveraging specialised knowledge in niche therapeutic areas. Our exclusive partnership with South Africa’s leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider enables us to offer comprehensive national distribution. Moreover, we are listed as an approved vendor for state supply by the National Treasury’s Central Supplier Database (CSD), and have established listings with key private hospitals nationwide.
At Umsebe Healthcare, we have a dedicated hospital-sector sales team as well as offering dedicated Strategic sales, State sector and Export support. Our regional licensing and distribution footprint extends into the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, furthering our commitment to expanding access to quality medicines.
