ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BIOMEDICAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY Biomedical Limited was incorporated as a private limited liability company in April 1978 with sole interest in the manufacture & sale of critical care products indispensable in healthcare delivery.
Biomedical is the first pharmaceutical company in Nigeria to manufacture and distribute intravenous fluids, dialysis and irrigation fluids and oral rehydration salts (ORS).
Production commenced on August 21, 1981 at our factory located in Ilorin, Kwara state.
In 2015, the company witnessed a tremendous transformation and expansion sequel to the full acquisition by Bradford Group under the staunch leadership of Hon. Idowu Osuolale Obasa.
Biomedical Limited having successfully established leadership in the IVF sub sector of the pharmaceutical industry, is reinforcing its commitment to Nigeria’s healthcare delivery system by raising the bar once more as the Liquid Oral Preparation production was launched with the commissioning and completion of the state-of-the-art syrup manufacturing facility in Ilorin, 2019.
It is on record that Biomedical Limited is the first pharmaceutical company in Nigeria to produce “Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)” which is used to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood. It is a complementary option to the more traditional of Hemodialysis (HD). As a home therapy, CAPD presents lifestyle advantages, allowing patients to work or be at home while administering their therapy.
It also does not require a capital-intensive infrastructure (clinics and personnel) making it an ideal for use in developing countries like Nigeria where many people with kidney disease currently go untreated mainly because of the high cost of treatment associated with HD.This method reduces the on-hospital services and attention of doctors and nurses in the treatment of renal failure.
The Birth of CAPD (1.5% & 2.5%) goes to underscore Biomedical’s long history of being a pioneering company in the critical care management of the Nigeria healthcare system.
The Company currently has about 16 different range of intravenous products and another 22 different range of syrup products being manufactured, marketed & distributed across the country.
Biomedical Limited is an equal opportunity employer currently engages over 150 direct employees. The company strength arises out of the ability to put together seasoned professionals, highly skilled & well motivated staff, product know-how, adoption of cutting-edge technology and a culture of customer centricity with the primary goal of ensuring total customer satisfaction.Since its inception, the company has invested so much in its corporate social responsibilities’ activities across the country.
