Can Indian companies export medicines to Uganda?
Yes — Indian companies can export medicines to Uganda once the product is registered with the National Drug Authority (NDA) and imported through a licensed local importer. Products should be WHO-GMP made, with a CPP, COA, GMP certificate and Certificate of Origin. Uganda is landlocked, so shipments usually route through the Port of Mombasa or Dar es Salaam with onward road transport, or by air to Entebbe International Airport.
