4 min read · Updated 2026-07-20 · GlobalSurgicals export desk

Short answer

Distributors in Sri Lanka partner with Indian exporters like GlobalSurgicals to access 26 surgical categories from one source, competitive margins, private-label options and full registration support with the National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA).

Key takeaways
