About SHK Medical
We did not build this company from a boardroom.
SHK Medical was founded by a Ugandan. Not from a distance. Not from a European distribution centre with a map of Africa on the wall.
From inside an African healthcare system — with all the complexity, the bureaucracy, the currency pressures, the port delays, and the logistical challenges that come with operating where supply chains were never designed to reach.
That foundation is why we understand what it actually takes to keep dialysis running in the markets we serve.
SHK Medical is a B2B dialysis supply company. We supply OEM-approved consumables and integrated logistics to dialysis clinics, hospital groups, distributors, and healthcare investors across Africa, the Middle East, and island markets.
We do not supply to individual patients or the general public.
Our clients are operators — the people responsible for keeping dialysis running, session after session, under real-world conditions. That is who we think about. That is who we build our supply model for.
Over 20 years. Over 1,000,000 dialysis sessions supported across emerging markets.
Active across Sub-Saharan Africa, East Africa, and West Africa — including Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Mauritius and Zimbabwe.
Serving the Caribbean across Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, and the wider island markets.
Operating into the Middle East and Gulf region, Pacific Islands.
We have navigated the bureaucracy, the currencies, the customs environments, and the freight volatility that others walk away from. Not in theory. In practice.
Patients first.
Every decision runs through a single question: does this ultimately benefit the patient being treated? If not, we do not do it.
Quality is not negotiable.
Every consumable we supply is OEM-approved. No compromise. No grey-market sourcing. No corners cut on clinical standards.
The operator is the bridge.
A viable clinic is a clinical necessity. When the economics of operating a dialysis centre work, patients receive consistent care. When they strain, everyone feels it.
Cost structure, not cost cutting.
Reducing treatment cost by up to 30% is not about finding cheaper products. It is about correcting how supply is planned, sourced, and structured.
We treat every challenge as if it were for our own family.
