Who We Are

Megacom began its operation in Ukraine’s pharmaceutical market in September 1995, as a distributor of innovative medications and healthcare solutions.
From the outset, we've strived to be a valuable and responsible partner to our customers. Remaining an independent and ethically driven business, we foster a vibrant community where reliability and success thrive, shaping a workplace that genuinely values and uplifts every individual.

Our Story

Megacom was founded by two partners: Soud Al-Bess and Pavlo Pylypenko, a pharmacist and a doctor by education.

Their inherent values, philosophy, and adept relationship-building, coupled with their commitment to accountability and relentless determination formed a thriving team of like-minded individuals. This team has been integral to driving Megacom’s success and continues to actively pursue further growth and advancement.

Regrettably, as of July 2022, Soud is no longer with us. Soud’s ability to understand, trust and care for his colleagues and team members helped to cultivate an empowering workplace environment that facilitated professional development, capacity building and communication. He was a true visionary, leader, and friend to all of us. His love and wisdom remain with us and are integral to our team culture.

Over the course of our decades-long journey, we've grown from a small team to a thriving organization. Our adaptability to market changes, incorporation of insights from partners and competitors, and strategic learning from mistakes have led to substantial success across all facets of our work.

Throughout the years, our goal remains the same - to enhance treatment and prevention opportunities for every patient, caregiver and healthcare professional in Ukraine. We meticulously curate a selection of unique, highly effective medications from our current and prospective partners' product lists, tailored specifically for the Ukrainian market. From registration to market introduction and beyond, we diligently guide these products, ensuring their availability and efficacy for those we serve.

Today, Megacom has established successful partnerships as the exclusive distributor with companies based in Jordan, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. Furthermore, the company is currently in the process of introducing several new products to the Ukrainian market.

Our strategies encompass forging new contracts and expanding the range of professional services, therapeutic areas, niches and markets, seamlessly integrating innovation and tradition. We envision a continuous evolution of our organization, while remaining steadfast in upholding our core values.
