Alfa Laboratories has been making hospital essentials in Lebanon since 1973. Its core products are the things wards and dialysis units go through every day: intravenous solution bags, hemodialysis solutions and premixed powder, glass ampoules, and IV sets and bloodlines. It also makes over-the-counter items, including oral rehydration solutions, nasal sprays and disinfectants. The company describes itself as a Lebanese manufacturer whose products are made in Lebanon, and it gives its installed capacity as more than 70,000 IV bags a day, over 40,000 liters of dialysis solution or powder, and 30,000 ampoules. Around 230 people work there, and the general manager is Dr. Souad El Hosni Akl. Alfa exports to markets in the Middle East and Africa, and one UAE client describes a partnership of more than 15 years.
