Now, Avail 40% Discount On Medicines At Civil Hospitals!

In the days of inflation when prices of commodities are high, prices of medicines have also soared high. Amidst such an atmosphere where rates of medicines have skyrocketed, BMC hospitals in Mumbai have announced to provide medicines to its patients at an unbelievable discount of 40%!!

Shocked! Yes, it is true and the brain behind this noble task is AMRIT Pharmacy i.e. Affordable Medicines and Reliable Implants for Treatment. It may be noted that AMRIT Pharmacy is a Government of India initiative where the government aims at giving medicines at an affordable cost. The first AMRIT outlet was opened at AIIMS Hospital, Delhi, and offered expensive cancer medicines at highly discounted rates.

The success of AMRIT Pharmacy has boosted the confidence of the Government of India and it is fast spreading its tentacles across state-run hospitals in India. Since civil hospitals managed by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are widely popular among the lower strata of the society and people come from far and wide to get treated at these hospitals, hence AMRIT Pharmacy tied-up with BMC.

AMRIT Pharmacy would be selling all medicines to the needy at a 40%  discounted rate. The medicines will be available from the AMRIT Aushadh Bhandara. The other highlight of AMRIT Pharmacy is that all the outlets of AMRIT Pharmacy will be set up within the premises of the city hospitals.

The patients have appreciated the government to move. A patient said, “The concept of AMRIT Pharmacy is excellent because the prices of medicines have skyrocketed and it is, indeed, taxing to purchase these medicines. Further, even the BMC civil hospitals’ doctors prescribe medicines from outside. Thus, AMRIT Pharmacy opening its pharmacies inside hospital premises and providing a 40% discount is like a dream come true.”

It may be noted that AMRIT is managed by the government-owned HLL Lifecare Ltd (HLL) which sells both drugs and implants at discounted rates not only to AIIMS patients but even to patients availing treatment at other government-run hospitals.
