Nairobi, Kenya

Laboratory & Allied was incepted in 1968 and incorporated in November 1970 under the Company Act as a private trading company dealing mainly in general healthcare sundries and toiletries, laboratory chemicals and glassware, and other related products.

As a family-owned company under the able management of the founder Mr. Vithal Patel, the company diversified into pharmaceutical wholesaling in 1971, where it became the front-runner in the supply of basic essential drugs to the govemment administered public health sector and comprehensive drugs supplies to the private sector in the entire tropical regions of East, Central, and Southem Africa. L&A took calculated advantage of the government policy of supporting local entrepreneurs in the pharmaceutical sector, to increase manufacturing capacity and capability, by investing heavily in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

L&A grew to become one of the leading suppliers of quality-approved pharmaceutical products to the government's Essential Drugs Programme. (EDP) Due to the increasing health-care demands in Kenya and the region, the modest manufacturing facility along Enterprise Road in the Industrial Area of Nairobi was soon outstripped in through-put capacity.

Thus, a modern spacious and custom designed GMP-certified facility was inaugurated mid-1990 along Mombasa Road; the present location of L&A. From this facility L&A produces all kinds of formulations, including sterile injectables, liquid suspensions and syrups (both large and small volume), solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules), aerosols, inhaler aerosols, dry-powder filling as well as creams and ointments, impregnated sterile gauze, dental cartridges and roll-on medication. The entire facility and layout is well segregated with an independent penicillin plant having dedicated air-flow and fluid ducting systems.

Today, L&A continues to build on its equity rating as one of Africa's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers by developing a comprehensive range of products and formulations and investing in products formulations research.

"Our commitment to healthcare is reflected in the continuing development of new products and dosage forms aimed at effectively meeting the health needs of the people" says Managing Director Manesh Patel "In formulating our products we not only are cognizant of the treatment regime but also of the socio-economic impact our products impart towards the general welfare of the people".

L&A today has in its portfolio over 150 product presentations covering all areas of healthcare ranging from:

Ethical (prescription) pharmaceutical products
Over-the-Counter (OTC) medicines
Fast moving general pharmaceutical and healthcare products.
Animal Healthcare" and Veterinary products.

Because of its earlier involvement in the EDP, L&A continues to hold premier position as the leading supplier of drugs and medicines to the government, quasi-government institutions and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO's) having in its portfolio products for virtually every therapeutic and clinical indication.

Through its high rating performance and consistency in the manufacture and delivery of the pioneer Drugs Kits to the MoH and donor supported health delivery programs spanning over 20 years, L&A is today rightly considered the leading supplier to the MoH Essential Drugs Kits system in particular, and the preferred supplier to the public healthcare system, in general.
