About Us

Dawai is committed to reliability, innovation, and improving health outcomes in challenging environments, while building a foundation for impact from day one

Dawai Pharmaceuticals is a globally connected, regionally embedded pharmaceutical company headquartered in Amman, Jordan, with initial target reach to Iraq, Libya, Yemen, South Africa, Egypt, and Ghana, and expanding into MEA and CEE at large & production facilities in Mwaqar Free Trade Zone. We specialize in bridging the gap between global pharmaceutical manufacturers and the often underserved yet high-potential markets across the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

At Dawai, we do more than distribute medication—we design sustainable access. By sourcing high-demand, generic, and semi-finished pharmaceutical products, and expertly navigating complex regulatory environments, we ensure that high-quality and affordable treatments reach the people and places that need them most.

Our streamlined business model focuses on capital efficiency, rapid registration, co-branded packaging, and smart distribution—delivering value not only to our partners but also to millions of patients across emerging markets.

What Sets Us Apart

Dawai Pharmaceuticals is a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Amman, Jordan, with a strong operational presence across Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Founded with the vision to bridge the gap between global drug manufacturers and underserved markets, we focus on delivering high-quality, affordable medicines to regions where access to healthcare is often limited. By combining international partnerships with local expertise, Dawai ensures that essential medications reach the countries we serve efficiently, ethically, and with the highest standards of care.

Our operations are anchored by a state-of-the-art facility in Amman, Jordan, which serves as our regulatory hub and central packaging site. This facility is designed to meet GMP standards, allowing us to handle product registration, repackaging, and quality control with precision. From here, we coordinate the movement of medicines across our entire network, ensuring that every shipment meets international compliance requirements before reaching the markets we serve.

Local Insight, Global Reach

We believe that meaningful impact begins with understanding. That’s why Dawai operates with dedicated, on-the-ground teams in each of our target regions—ensuring deep cultural, regulatory, and logistical insight. These teams work closely with local ministries of health, regulatory authorities, procurement agencies, and humanitarian organizations to build trust and ensure compliance. Backed by global pharmaceutical partnerships, we bring world-class products into local markets through strategies tailored to regional realities.

Our business model is designed for agility and efficiency. Rather than investing in costly manufacturing infrastructure, Dawai partners with vetted manufacturers of bulk drugs and APIs, allowing us to focus on what matters most: getting quality medicines to market quickly and affordably. We add value through localized packaging, streamlined regulatory management, and country-specific branding—delivering powerful results without the overheads of traditional pharma operations.

In markets where regulatory complexity often causes delays, Dawai stands out for speed and precision. Our in-house regulatory specialists manage end-to-end registration processes, including CTD dossier preparation, translations, compliance filing, and agency coordination. This internal capacity dramatically reduces time-to-market for our partners, enabling rapid deployment of essential medicines into high-demand territories.

At our core, Dawai is driven by impact. Our strategy is intentionally built around the needs of vulnerable populations—those living in areas affected by conflict, poverty, and systemic healthcare limitations. We prioritize ethical sourcing and distribution, ensuring that every product we move serves a real human need. Whether through NGO supply chains, public hospital tenders, or humanitarian partnerships, we are committed to delivering healthcare access where it matters most.

Message from the president

Dawai Pharmaceuticals was founded with one goal in mind, to make healthcare accessible to those who need it most. Every medicine we register, every partnership we build, and every shipment we deliver is rooted in the belief that no one should be left behind due to geography, conflict, or economic hardship.

From war-affected zones in Yemen to underserved clinics in Ghana, we work tirelessly to ensure that high-quality, affordable medicines reach the people who rely on them. We navigate complex regulations, partner with local distribution outlets, and design solutions that are both efficient and human-centered.

Because to us, this is more than a business—it’s a commitment to health equity, dignity, and hope.

We’re here to help. And we’re just getting started.

– Sami Abunadi, President
