§ 01Our story

Fifteen years.
One belief.

Mair Pharmaceuticals Ltd was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that every person in Lusaka deserves access to quality medicines and professional healthcare, at any time they need it.

We have been serving our community for over 15 years — and in that time, we have grown from a single outlet into a dual-branch operation covering pharmaceutical retail, diagnostic clinic services, wholesale supply, and pharmaceutical import and distribution.

We are 100% Zambian owned and operated. Every product we stock, every service we offer, and every pharmacist we employ reflects our commitment to the health and wellbeing of the communities where we work. We are fully licensed by ZAMRA — the Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority — and operate in alignment with WHO Good Pharmacy Practice standards.

Our pharmacists are not just dispensers. They are your health advisors. Walk in for a free blood pressure check, a blood sugar test, a malaria rapid test, or a consultation — and you will be met with professional care, without an appointment, without a waiting list, and without a fee. That is our commitment to you, every single day.

Musonda Chikosa

Mair Pharmaceuticals Ltd was founded and is led by Musonda Chikosa — a Zambian entrepreneur, pharmacist, and operational systems builder whose vision for accessible, compliant, high-quality healthcare has shaped every aspect of the Mair brand.

Under Musonda's leadership, Mair has grown from its founding outlet into a multi-branch network with a wholesale and import arm serving clinics, hospitals, and institutions across Lusaka. His philosophy is straightforward: excellence is not a marketing word, it is a daily operational standard.

His broader vision extends beyond retail pharmacy — building Mair toward becoming a full-spectrum pharmaceutical distributor with institutional supply capacity, government tender eligibility, and a health technology infrastructure that brings modern digital tools to Zambian healthcare.

"A business is only as strong as its compliance posture and the consistency of its team."
