We have started marketing medicines at the end
of nineties that lead to improve our experiences
in the field of medicines marketing and also in
the management of sales despite the difficult
circumstances we faced in our dear country. We
have insisted to reflect our ideas and aspirations
into actions. First, We have established
ALMAWARD ALELMIA SCIENTIFIC BUREAU
which is registered in the Syndicate of
Pharmacists in Iraq under the no. 453 of 2005
in order to supervise our medicines stores by
this scientific bureau.
We have increased the number of distribution centers that
we own such as ALNUKBAH drugs store which was
established since 1999. We enlarge our business by
establishing “ASSK Company” for commercial agencies with
limited liability(Private company) that is registered at 24th.
April 2010 and then we add a new trade activity to ASSK
Company for commercial agencies and General Trading With
Limited Liability (Private company) at 17th July 2010. We also
make partnerships with many scientific bureaus in Baghdad,
the south of Iraq and with many pharmaceutical companies
in the northern region of Iraq. we have set up a network
marketing consists of doctors , pharmacists, and sales
representatives for medical media who have the excellent
experiences and qualifications in the medicines marketing
and also have an effective role in our successful plans so we
can cover all the areas in Iraq in order to speed the delivery
of orders to customers.
