"Cosmos Cares for the welfare of the nation through better health of the people"​. Dr Prakash K. Patel The importance of medicines can only be realised when they are readily available when required. With that in mind Cosmos started in 1978 with the sole aim of manufacturing quality generic medicines at an affordable price for Kenyans. Many of whom required essential drugs defined by the World Health Organization as "those that satisfy the priority healthcare needs of the population"​. At Cosmos we believe quality is of paramount importance and there is only 1 quality when it comes to medicines. Adhering to strict Good Manufacturing Practices and being technologically advanced to our competitors we were able to achieve this by the turn of the century through both public and private partnerships. One of only a few companies in the region with over two hundred registered products, the next aim was to make non-communicable diseases and diseases where medication had to be taken regularly a priority. Through very active Research and Development we are able to practically adapt medication for the ever growing requirements of the private market, spearheading a movement to increase the quality of life, convenience and compliance of the people. Cosmos is now a 3rd generation family business of technocrats with a passion for the industry that has grown to have a presence in 10 Sub Saharan African countries and employ 400+ people. Our latest aim is to gain international standard recognition through WHO prequalification for the majority of our products.
