• Company Name : Essential Drugs Company Limited (Under Ministry Of Health & Family Welfare, Government Of Bangladesh)
  • About Us : In 1962 Government Pharmaceutical Laboratory (GPL) was established to manufacture and test the quality of drugs used in public hospitals. In 1979 GPL was renamed as pharmaceutical production unit (PPU) with an objective to produce and supply Essential Drugs to public hospitals and health complexes. In 1983 PPU was converted into a private limited company named Essential Drugs Company Ltd. (EDCL) retaining all its shares with the government and entrusting its management to an independent Board of Directors. The government took this decision to ensure operational flexibility and professional quality to attain the objectives of the company. In 1985 EDCL was converted to a public limited company to enlarge the size of Board of Directors for better management and supervision of company activities. EDCL is now manufacturing 135 Products and supplying to the government and other institutions at reasonable price. Initially the authorized capital of EDCL was Tk. 20 million, now with the growth of the company the authorized capital has been raised to Tk. 250 million.
