Quick answer
Ethiopia imports a large share of its surgical consumables from India, and GlobalSurgicals is one of the exporters EPSS tenders and new regional referral hospitals rely on.
Every product we ship to Ethiopia is documented for registration with the Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority (EFDA): certificates of free sale, ISO 13485 and CE certificates, declarations of conformity and batch-wise test reports.
Sea freight reaches Djibouti (for Addis Ababa) in roughly 12–18 days from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, while urgent air consignments arrive in about 2–4 days. We consolidate mixed-category containers so distributors can order across our full range in one shipment.
