People are used to purchasing vehicles, houses and such other things on EMI, but with the changing times the EMI concept has got expanded. Now, in emergency or in financial crisis, people today have an option of getting expensive medicines on EMI.
One of the State’s prominent medicine dealer, Rajgarhia Speciality Care, has initiated the first-ever EMI service on injectable drugs for the customers who cannot afford to buy expensive medicines paying full amount at a time.
This is the first of its kind medical care assistance launched in the state capital and is slowly gaining impetus among denizens.
The service has been initiated by the businessman Ashwani Rajgarhia to provide benefits especially to downtrodden as they are the worst sufferers at times of medical emergency.
This is also a step ahead to enhance the health care sector in Jharkhand, where majority of population lacks access to proper medical assistance.
The service was initiated in 2009 and is being expanded to target maximum people especially those residing in rural pockets of the State.
“The idea came when one couple from lohardaga visited us and due to some monetary constrains, they could not save their child on time as expensive emergency life saving drugs was beyond their reach.
This incident left an impact on me and motivated me to do something which will not just serve my business purpose but will benefit the people on large scale too,” said, Rajgarhia, CMD of state largest injection store, Rajgarhia Speciality Care.
The company presently deals with anti-serum, infertility drugs, nephrology drugs, cardiac drugs, insulin, oncology drugs, critical care (ICU) drugs, plasma products and other expensive life saving drugs.
“We are associated with more than 100 registered pharmaceutical companies which deal in various speciality drugs. The process for getting medicine on EMI is also straightforward. We just require cheque, medical prescription, ID proof including one local reference and the medicine is handed over to the customers,” Rajgarhia added.
Denizens can also approach the company during emergency through 24 hours toll free number 18001234007. “40 per cent people die as they do not have admittance to expensive medicines. At present, we receive few calls only but due to its presence we have saved several lives.
Few days back, I received a call at 2:30 AM from Sewa Sadan and the best part of it is that through our prompt service, we were able to deliver the prescribed medicine on time. The company functions as per the requirement,” he signed off.
