Live across Ethiopia

Groceries and pharmacy, brought over

Shops, mini-markets and over-the-counter pharmacy, delivered. DERSA cannot carry prescription-only medicine, and will not pretend otherwise.

Which shops

You only see shops that are open, with what they actually have in stock.

Pharmacy

Over the counter only, and handed to the person receiving it.

About medicine

DERSA does not carry prescription-only medicine. It needs a pharmacy licence, a pharmacist's check and EFDA rules this platform does not implement, so listing such an item is refused rather than quietly allowed.

What DERSA does deliver from a pharmacy is handed to the person receiving it. Nothing is left at a gate.

What you get
