ERAM’s Platinum Award puts Uganda’s Animal-Health Industry in the regional spotlight
Our Reporter Uganda’s animal-health sector has received a regional vote of confidence after ERAM Uganda Limited was named Best Veterinary Company in East Africa at the 2026 East Africa Brand Quality Awards. The company received the Platinum Award and Quality Seal of Excellence during a ceremony at Hotel Africana’s Nile Hall in Kampala on Friday, October 16, becoming a first-time recipient of the regional distinction. The recognition comes as ERAM enters its 31st year of operations, with the company looking to build on three decades of supplying veterinary products while expanding its manufacturing capabilities and pursuing opportunities beyond Uganda.

This makes quality assurance, reliability and responsible business practices fundamental to our work. She adds, “Receiving this award in our 31st year is an important milestone, but it also reminds us that recognition must be matched by consistent performance.” Founded in 1995 by veterinary professionals Edward Muhigirwa, the Managing Director, and Dr Banga, ERAM started as a small business in Kampala’s Container Village, seeking to improve access to veterinary products. Over the years, it has developed into an integrated animal-health business supplying veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines, equipment and supplements to farmers and veterinary professionals across Uganda. …
