Supply & Market

Taj Pharma is an established Deferasirox supplier in Uganda, supporting public-sector hospital tenders, NGO procurement and private pharmacy distribution under WHO-GMP manufacturing. Our Taj Pharma India Ltd. site in Sarigam, Gujarat ships dispersible tablets to Uganda through Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Lagos Apapa, Tema and Durban gateways with consolidated documentation.

The Uganda market for iron-chelation therapy is driven by transfusion-dependent thalassemia, sickle-cell disease and myelodysplastic syndromes, where Deferasirox dispersible tablets are widely prescribed under the WHO Essential Medicines List.

Our regulatory and commercial team in Mumbai partners directly with importers, hospital procurement officers and Ministry-of-Health tender desks across Uganda — from Kampala to regional referral centres — for streamlined supply continuity.

Taj Pharma submits the full CTD dossier (Modules 1–5) along with our WHO-GMP certificate, CoPP, manufacturing licence, plant master file and validated stability data to NDA. Our regulatory desk handles queries, sample submissions and post-approval variations on behalf of local marketing-authorisation holders.
