About CIPLA

At Cipla, we are not mere manufacturers of medication. What we make are memories. Memories that may not have been there to be remembered, had a life not been lived. We make people better and we save lives. 

We want people to live a long, healthy and happy life.

Some call it human care, we call it ‘Caring For life’.

Cipla South Africa is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in South Africa by volume and third largest by value. We hope to bring relief to the lives of cancer patients with our range of quality products at affordable prices to ensure equitable access to medication.
