The Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday said that the ‘Jan Aushadhi Yojna’ catering to the health needs of poor and middle class families has come as a silent revolution in the country.
Mandaviya, while addressing an event organised by the Delhi BJP on ‘Jan Aushadhi Diwas’, said that many youth have also got employment through this scheme as anyone who has a certificate to open a medical store can start a Jan Aushadhi Kendra as its process is quite simple.
“The Jan Aushadhi Yojna is contributing greatly in ensuring the health care needs of women. The scheme has come like a silent revolution in the country.
The scheme has become a “true friend” of poor and middle class families as they are now able to get generic medicines at lesser prices,” said Mandaviya.
On the occasion, BJP Delhi unit president Adesh Gupta said Modi government has opened 8,664 Jan Aushadhi centres through which people are getting over 1,400 quality medicines at reasonable prices, which has helped the poor and needy save over Rs 13,000 crore.
