Who we are

From a single pharmacy in Homs to an integrated healthcare organisation — a bridge between global innovation and regional markets.

GP Group was founded in 1997 with a single private pharmacy in Homs, Syria, by Hussam Fadel. From that starting point the group has grown into an integrated healthcare organisation operating across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Today GP Pharma serves as the group's healthcare arm — distributing pharmaceuticals, medical devices and health & wellness products, alongside pharmaceutical plastic manufacturing through the GP Plast division.

Investment opportunity — Syria 2025+

Syria: an emerging market
seeking partners.

With the conflict phase drawing to a close and reconstruction under way, Syria stands at the threshold of a healthcare renaissance. Years of suppressed demand for quality medicines and equipment have created enormous, ready-to-absorb market potential — and the healthcare infrastructure requires comprehensive rehabilitation from the ground up.

GP Group has been present in this market since 1997 — long before any international company began considering entry. Our partnership does not simply offer you an agent. It gives you a partner who knows every dimension of this market: its relationships, regulatory pathways, distribution network, and the institutional trust earned over nearly three decades.

Why now, specifically?

Massive suppressed demand

Years of scarce, quality pharmaceutical products have created a large, ready-to-respond demand the moment supply becomes available.

Full-scale reconstruction

Hospitals and health centres need complete re-equipping from scratch — a genuine opportunity for devices and consumables.

First-mover advantage

Those who enter now build brand loyalty before the market becomes crowded — an advantage that cannot be purchased later.

Progressive regulatory opening

Increasing facilitations for foreign product registration as part of the broader reactivation of the healthcare sector.

22MPopulation — target marketA large population long deprived of quality healthcare products, with strong pent-up demand and a willingness to pay for quality.
28+Years of local presenceGP Group has been in the Syrian market since 1997 — a network of trust and relationships that cannot be built in a single year.
