private hospitals, 140 government hospitals including polyclinics and clinics, 80
showrooms. Based on statistics it can capitulate for $ 200,000,000 of sales for whole scope
of all products.
It’s been a decade that Al-abyaar made it to the top in Kuwait healthcare distribution
business and with this success we are not restraining for a single territory, we are starting
to pass over to other neighboring markets:
-Gulf countries (Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirate, Saudi Arabia) according to the
list all these countries have 346 government and 126 private hospitals, hundreds of
pharmacies and number of sectors in which there is an existing potential.
-Yemen, Jordan and Lebanon upon initial estimation it possess a total 166 government
hospitals, 254 private hospitals, 48 medical societies, 1637 health clinics and 2874
pharmacies/drugstores.
Management will do its best effort to cover all these areas within a length of time but in
order to see the flow, products must be built and established its name within kuwait. There
are several advantages to acquire if the product is registered in Kuwait, it can be used as a
reference for the other countries local registration. There will be a lesser documentation
and easier procedure.
The next plan is to ENTER CENTRAL GCC MARKET.

Kuwait situated market, location of the consumer is a MUST to be consider.
There are specific areas in which they preferred for the products coming from a
re-known country of origin. A place in which the monetary funds are limited
preferred for the low cost products. So, we are selecting the products from
number of possibilities before deciding to deliver it in the market.
Paving the way for future development especially in case of ‘’NOT LETTING THE

cultivates ideas on what would be the potential ways for the product to be click.
We are not allowing PRODUCT FAILURE and PROFIT LOST both from our side and
yours (supplier) with the exception of PRICE given by the MOH. We must work
out the registration as fast as we could for whoever got the chance to finish the
registration first amongst competitor of the same generic, good price they will
get from the MOH.
