In a significant milestone for public healthcare, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today dedicated the 10,000th Jan Aushadhi Kendra at AIIMS, Deoghar, affirming the government’s commitment to providing quality and affordable medicines to the masses through the Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP).
Highlighting the objectives of the initiative the Prime Minister stated that Janaushadhi Kendras have been opened across the country, where high-quality medicines are being sold at 50%-90% cheaper rates compared to market rates which has greatly benefitted not only the poor but also the middle class.
In Assam alone, there are around 182 Jan Aushadhi Kendras, contributing significantly to the state’s healthcare landscape. The government’s commitment to expanding this initiative reflects its dedication to enhancing healthcare accessibility and affordability nationwide.
