Built to keep East African clinics diagnosing accurately

Selous Biotechnology is a Dar es Salaam-based medical equipment distributor and one of the few dealers in Africa authorized to supply MAICO Diagnostics instrumentation — alongside dental, pulmonary, hearing aid and prosthetic equipment.

Our story

A regional partner, not just a supplier

Access to accurate, well-maintained diagnostic equipment remains one of the biggest barriers to quality healthcare across East Africa. Selous Biotechnology was formed to close that gap — bringing internationally certified instrumentation directly to hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation centres, and standing behind every device with installation, calibration and repair support delivered locally, not from overseas.

As an authorized MAICO Diagnostics dealer, we combine manufacturer-grade audiometry and screening technology with a full catalogue of dental, pulmonary, hearing aid and prosthetic solutions — so clinical teams can source what they need from a single accountable partner.

What guides us

Mission & principles

Genuine equipment only

Every device we distribute is sourced through authorized manufacturer channels, including our MAICO Diagnostics partnership — never grey-market imports.

Service after the sale

Installation, staff training, calibration and repairs are delivered by our team in-country, so equipment stays in clinical use, not in storage.

Built for East Africa

We select and stock equipment suited to the power, climate and workflow realities of clinics across the region.
