EPSS Top-20 Supplier 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

Four businesses, one operating principle

LifeCare Group, a diversified Ethiopian enterprise

LifeCare started in pharmaceuticals and stayed there as the core. But years of working inside Ethiopia's supply chain taught us where the real bottlenecks are: housing, local manufacturing and import logistics. So we built businesses in each, with the same operating discipline and the same focus on reliability over hype.

Our founding business

Pharmaceuticals and healthcare

LifeCare Pharmaceutical Trading PLC is the company's anchor, importing medicines, medical equipment and surgical disposables from manufacturers in over 10 countries and supplying them to pharmacies, hospitals, NGO programmes and EPSS contracts across Ethiopia. We have been an EPSS Top-20 Supplier every year from 2022 through 2025, and the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Association has recognized our advocacy and sponsorship work, including the EPA Golden Jubilee.
