Anyone who has ever operated a chemist outside Nairobi? i.e. in a smaller town
How do you order for drugs? Do you use local distributors or order directly from Nairobi?
What are your operational profit margins?
If you want to make big margins,toa hao vienyeji mimba na elfu tatu tatu,you’ll be one of mbirrioneas in this house.
:D:D:D:D you devil
Hehehe…Legal business please. Plus I am not a doctor. I am looking to invest in a friend’s business venture who has done medicine so I am doing some feasibility study.
We are looking to start one in one of the smaller townships in the country.
I don’t know about the margins but i know this:
- That you can order from Pharmaceutical wholesalers in Nairobi and have your drugs delivered overnight via G4S (They have an arrangement where you get your dawas delivered and are invoiced later. Alternatively, you can have the courier fees charged to your invoice at the wholesaler)
- Kuna some hustlers wanauza “cargo” they usually give good discounts of upto 30% off. Some do rounds across the country and will deliver to your door step.

You cannot operate a pharmacy using the medicine degree papers…About the drugs I think nowadays you get the same discounts from local distributors compared to those in Nairobi. The only thing you need to consider is availability of clients. Without those you will close shop after 2 weeks. That is why you see guys opening a pharmacy right opposite the gate to a public hospital kama pale mama Lucy Kibaki. Otherwise if you have a good flow of patients the only thing you will need to worry about is availability of stock and of course ‘thieving’ from your trusted employees coz they will steal from you big time.
Good luck though!
