Singsong Medical, a subsidiary of Singsong Hospital, has officially opened its public warehouse at 86 Campbell Street in Freetown, offering a wide range of affordable medical products designed to improve access to quality healthcare across Sierra Leone. The opening ceremony took place on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 and attracted residents, health practitioners and community leaders who praised the initiative as timely and impactful.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Joseph A.K. Kamara, Chief Executive Officer of Singsong Hospital and Singsong Imports and Distribution, described the opening as a major milestone in the company’s 15-year journey in hospital service and healthcare delivery. He said the establishment of the warehouse represents a continuation of Singsong’s commitment to dependability, affordability and public trust in healthcare services.
“We have been in hospital service for the past 15 years and based on the quality and genuineness of the products we provide, we decided to create our own brand; one that represents dependability, affordability and confidence,” Dr. Joseph A.K. Kamara stated. He emphasized that all Singsong products meet the quality assurance standards set by the Pharmaceutical Society of Sierra Leone, adding that the warehouse is equipped with proper storage facilities, including regulated humidity and cooling systems, to ensure the effectiveness and safety of all products.
Dr. Joseph A.K. Kamara noted that the company has worked to keep its prices moderate while maintaining the highest standards. “We have tried to make our prices competitive without compromising on quality. This is part of our broader effort to make healthcare affordable for everyone, both rich and poor,” he said.
Products displayed at the new warehouse include Smatfil-D (a sex stimulant and endurance enhancer), Alberol (for worm infections), SMATKIT (for ulcers), SMATCIP (for typhoid fever), SMATGYL (for urinary tract infection and amoebic dysentery), Smatmal (for malaria), SMATDOL (for headache, fever and joint pain), SMATSIL (for indigestion and gastric ulcer) and SMATFER (for anemia).
According to Dr. Joseph A.K. Kamara, the initiative forms part of a “backward integration” strategy aimed at strengthening public confidence in locally branded pharmaceutical products while reducing the country’s dependency on imports. He said the company’s vision is to make Singsong a household name synonymous with quality and trust in the health sector.
Several residents who attended the event welcomed the opening, noting that the warehouse’s central location and affordable pricing will ease the financial burden on ordinary citizens. Others expressed optimism that the company’s decision to open its warehouse to the public will encourage transparency, build consumer confidence and promote trust in local pharmaceutical brands.
The opening of the Singsong Medical warehouse represents an important step in expanding healthcare access and affordability in Sierra Leone, further solidifying the company’s role as a reliable partner in advancing public health and well-being.
