LHC Pharmaceuticals defending the well-being of all species

“defending the health and well being of all species by providing the world first class medicine and related products”

About Us

Background

In South Africa, the majority of people who were previously disadvantaged could not have access to medicine in the early 80’s. Dr Sello Rathete a medical practitioner (founder) was highly motivated to his work of travelling 300km daily to provide the needed service to the people while working at the Groothoek Hospital in the Rural Limpopo province. The people of Sekhukhune district were dying of Silicosis’s resulting from the old Silica mines dumps surrounding their villages (Mafefe Villages). The need for universal access remained in their minds and ten years later in 2008 they met and started following their dreams, with a vision to make a difference in making medicine accessible to the needy people.

A UNIQUE APPROACH

Our approach to our business is somewhat unique in that we have entered the market in a fashion that some may consider back to front. However, we believe that in the pharmaceuticals industry, complete business understanding needs to come from within. It is for this reason we began with our “end to the beginning” approach. This was achieved by beginning at the end of the chain and moving to the beginning. Simply put, we began by retailing in 2001, distribution two years later in 2003, and in 2006 entered the ownership of drugs/medicines (registered dossiers) through LHC Pharmaceuticals.
