Our Story

At Catafago, our journey began in the 1940s when it was established by Charles Catafago. In the 1960s, a partnership was formed with Mohammad Hassouneh, propelling the company into becoming a well-known pharmaceutical entity within the market.

Building upon this foundation, in 1996, after graduation, Rabih Hassouneh joined forces with a group of four visionary pharmacists, Salim Itani, Ismail Jalloul, Ramzi Azzam and Anas Mehio, to restructure and revive the company, ushering in a new era of operations.

By collaborating with esteemed biopharma companies, dedicated care providers, diligent pharmacies, innovative manufacturers, forward-thinking hospitals, and various stakeholders, we pave the way for better access and affordability of quality care.

Through our insights, products, and services, we continue to be dedicated to enhancing the healthcare landscape in every setting, as we work toward a healthier world, one step at a time.
