Fort Pharma

Your Trusted Partner in Pharmaceuticals

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Safety and Trust

Fort Pharma, seated in the historic city of Erbil, draws inspiration from the enduring strength of the Erbil Citadel. Our pharmaceutical philosophy is built on the values of stability, safety, and enduring trust, much like the Citadel itself—standing resilient for centuries. Just as the fortress represents security and perseverance, Fort Pharma is committed to providing reliable and lasting healthcare solutions.

Founded in 2011 through a partnership of Iraqi and German expertise, Fort Pharma is located in Kurdistan, the safe and thriving region of northern Iraq. Specializing in the distribution of high-quality medicines and disinfectants from Europe, we are committed to enhancing healthcare standards with excellence and reliability.

In a context where counterfeit and substandard products have too often resulted in illness and suffering, rather than enhancing health and quality of life, our vision is to provide the Iraqi people with safe, effective and top-quality medications at an affordable price. We strive to establish state-of-the-art hygiene standards in hospitals and medical practices throughout Iraq, reducing infection risks and consequently lowering morbidity and mortality rates. Moreover, we are committed to promoting the use of effective disinfectants that uphold both superior hygiene standards and environmental responsibility, ensuring a healthier future for all.
