The Indian arm Adcock Ingram Healthcare Pvt. Ltd was fully owned by Adcock through its subsidiaries Adcock Ingram International (Pty) Ltd and Adcock Ingram Healthcare (Pty) Ltd.

One of the divisions of Adcock Healthcare provides transactional back office support service in the areas of regulatory services (drug dossiers, regulatory filings), quality control and assurance, medical affairs, information technology support and research and development (R&D) services to Adcock.
