Haryana Launches 5 Affordable Pharmacies on Aug 15
15 Aug
Summary
- Five AMRIT pharmacies are set to open in Haryana starting August 15.
- These pharmacies will offer quality medicines at significantly reduced prices.
- The initiative aims to lessen the financial burden on patients, especially for chronic conditions.
Beginning August 15, 2026, Haryana will inaugurate five AMRIT (affordable medicines and reliable implants for treatment) pharmacies. These outlets will commence operations in Fatehabad, Hansi, Sirsa, Charkhi Dadri, and Hisar, making quality medicines more accessible and affordable for the public.
The establishment of these pharmacies is a key component of the Union ministry of health and family welfare's flagship initiative, implemented by HLL Lifecare Limited. Their primary goal is to reduce patient expenditure on medical treatments by offering medicines, implants, and surgical consumables at discounts of up to 50% off the maximum retail price.
This expansion is particularly crucial for individuals managing chronic or life-threatening conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. By lowering medicine costs, the AMRIT pharmacies aim to alleviate the considerable financial strain these treatments can place on families, ensuring that cost does not become a barrier to ongoing care.
