AboutNorthgate

We are the local partner international pharmaceutical companies rely on for registration, storage, distribution and scientific promotion in Iraq.

Our story

It started with one office in Sulaimaniyah. Today it reaches all of Iraq.

Northgate Pharma was founded in 2015 by a team of seven pharmacists and specialists with one conviction: Iraqi patients deserve access to the same international medicines, at the same quality, at the right time.

We began by registering our first partner products with the Ministry of Health, then built our own cold-storage warehouses, then a national distribution network. Step by step, we became one integrated partner for registration, storage, distribution and scientific promotion.
