State Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing

State Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Corporation (SPMC) is the only state-owned pharmaceutical manufacturer in Sri Lanka, established in 1987 with assistance from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The corporation is dedicated to producing high-quality, affordable generic medicines to meet the healthcare needs of the Sri Lankan population and reduce the country's dependence on imports. SPMC operates advanced manufacturing facilities in Ratmalana that comply with WHO-GMP standards, producing a wide range of essential drugs including tablets, capsules, and oral liquids. As a key pillar of Sri Lanka's national drug policy, SPMC supplies the majority of its production to the government's Medical Supplies Division while also serving the private sector and international markets.
